"The Meaning of Liff"

After reading IainatCreel's blip, I was chuckling over the Frenetic Alphabet and had to find my copy of the above.

It employs place names to define objects and experiences that hitherto have had no definition. Eg -
Goole - the puddle on the bar into which the barman puts your change.
Whaplode Drove - a homicidal golf stroke.
Shoeburyness - the vague uncomfortable feeling you get when sitting on a seat still warm from someone else's bottom.

We'll pass over Piddletrenthide and Wetwang, I think.

My contribution would be Giggleswick - the impossibility of controlling laughter when reading this book on public transport.
