From The Unkempt Language Laboratory of England's foremost unknown neolinguist comes Manglo-Saxon: a new kind of lexicon in which words sound and look like what they mean. You'll yelp with pleasure (when you're not wheezing with indignation) at such redefinitions as: EQUATOR: Exclamation on finding something unexpected in restaurant food. "Equator! There's a spider in my soup." YOGHURT: An injury sustained while practicing yoga. "I'm sorry I can't come jogging with you today. I've got yoghurt in my groin."...and more than three hundred similarly refreshing, ready-to-use new old words!
