Comedy's most outrageous dictionary is back with a hilarious new collection of definitions for all those English words that don’t seem to have the right meaning. This crafty revision of English vocabulary posits that Platypus should signify “to give your cat pigtails;” that Flemish should mean “rather like snot;” and that Celtic is in fact a prison for fleas. With nearly 600 new definitions, this side-splitting resource pushes the boundaries of the English language to riotous new limits.
