The Meaning of Liff. Many years ago Douglas Adams wrote a book called "The Meaning of Liff." It was an attempt to create words to describe many common experiences that had no short description. For example, "kerry" was chosen to describe "the small twist of skin which separates each sausage on a string." Ballycumber was chosen to describe "one of the six half-read books lying in your bed." There is a Meaning of Liff group on Flickr and one of my favorite photos comes from this group:
