Anyone remember Sniglets? It was a book written in the 80's where words were made up to sort of go with a goofy or unnamed meaning. Here's an example of one of my own:

Fabby - Something that is super fabulous

(okay, that wasn't all that inventive, but I am sure many of you can come up with some hilarious made up words and defintions)

Now, if this sort of game has already had a go around - then just disregard this message. I'm just not about to go through pages of threads to find out... lol.

Baldage -The accumulation of hair in the drain after showering.

I have just located my copy of The Meaning of Liff , published by Pan and Faber & Faber in 1983, first edition and slightly faded.

The other was Douglas Adams the creator of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, but was writen with John Lloyd, who went on to produce Spitting Image.
