About The Meaning of Liff (Pls read rules!)

Photographs of places and words from the The Meaning of Liff or The Deeper Meaning of Liff. *Don't forget to add the definition in the description of your photo.

By Douglas Adams and John Lloyd

On the other hand, the world is littered with thousands of spare words which spend their time doing nothing but loafing about on signposts pointing at places.

Our job, as wee see it, is to get these words down off the signposts and into the mouths of babes and sucklings and so on, where they can start earning their keep in everyday conversation and make a more positive contribution to society.

*And, indeed in Liff

From the preface to the first edition, 1983.
