Reminds me of a book my dad gave me: The Deeper Meaning of Liff. It's a sort of dictionary in which the author had the philosophy that there are many things in life that we do not have a name for and many place names that just sit on sign posts and do nothing else, so he set out to put names to unnamed things by using place names, mainly from around Britain.Originally Posted by patsycat
I am reminded of this entry: Hobbs Cross; The leap-like movements made to avoid the wet patch, as in "She was desperately hobbs crossing while he had rolled over and started snoring".
