Pursuant on an email from a gentleman of this parish I was reminded of this;

Suggest you don't get too fixated on it, maybe a couple of dozen words a day, or try one from each letter of the alphabet each day, could be addictive!!

I liked this one


Bicycle
A sexually confused mode of transport.



Some quite subtle ones, like Bathos, > Superman's hoss, (although the definition was a bit more obscure so you had to stop and think or repronounce it)

Matrimony

The standard Uk dictionary is the Oxford; some people when talking about the two major UK universities, Oxford and Cambridge, call them collectively Oxbridge, so Uxbridge which is on the outskirts of London is a bit of a play on words. The "Uxbridge dictionary" is basically a big joking play on words, some admittedly a bit obscure to those whose native language is not English, or who don't have the warped sense of humour we English pride ourselves on.

Methinks what is needed CD is a steady diet of Goon Shows, Fawlty Towers and similar nonsense, digest a few of those and you may see things as we do.

That is very good Mike.

Has anyone used one of these, or are they just for the animals?
