    Small book written by Douglas Adams that represent names for thing that are happening or we don't have words for.
    excellent funny read.

    here are some extracts:

    Clun:
    A leg which has gone to sleep and has to be hauled around after you.
    Duntish:
    Mentally incapacitated by a severe hangover
    Epping:
    The futile movement of forefingers and eyebrows used when failing to attract the attention of waiters and barman.
    Farrancassidy:
    A long and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to undo someone's bra.
    Gipping:
    The fish like opening and closing of the jaws seen amongst people who have recently been to the dentist and are puzzled as to wether their teeth have been put back the right way up.
    Hagnaby:
    Someone who looked a lot more attractive in the disco then they do in your bed the next morning.
    Harbottle:
    A particular kind of fly which lives inside double glazing.

    etc etc etc :)
    funny stuff , recomended
