   The Meaning of Liff (w John Lloyd):   
   "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 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."
