Uxbridge English Dictionary

A combination of too much I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue [bbc.co.uk] and the need to find something to update my Facebook status with did spawn the creation of the now legendary (well it is) "Word of the Day" status updates.

The idea comes from the ISIHAC game Uxbridge English Dictionary [wikipedia.org] where the contestants are asked to come up with new meanings for old words.

Here are my first 46:
