Preface to The Meaning of Liff

In Life^*, there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist.

Our job, as we 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.

Douglas Adams, John Lloyd, Malibu, 1982
