	The Meaning of Liff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Meaning of Liff (UK Edition: ISBN 0330281216, US Edition: ISBN 0517553473) is a humorous dictionary written by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd, published in Britain in 1983 (and received its first publication in the USA in 1984).
		Some of the new words in Deeper had previously appeared in a Liff piece by Adams, Lloyd and Stephen Fry in The Utterly Utterly Merry Comic Relief Christmas Book (1986).
		According to Adams' account in The Salmon of Doubt, the Meaning of Liff grew out of an old school game, and started when he and Lloyd were on holiday together.

		The idea behind The Meaning of Liff, first published in 1983, as well as The Deeper Meaning of Liff, which followed seven years later, is actually quite simple.
		Although The Deeper Meaning of Liff is significantly expanded in size over the original, I guess I would choose the latter.
		While The Meaning of Liff mostly covers place names from the Britain, the expansions seem to be predominantly reaching abroad, resulting in somewhat diluted compendium.

		If anything, The Deeper Meaning of Liff is not quite as good as the original Meaning of Liff, the former being a thicker version of the latter (extended by using words hanging around on non-British signposts), but if you don't have the original, you might as well buy this.
		In the Deeper Meaning of Liff, Douglas teams up with John LLoyd to make the ultimate in random and true humour.
		So why not sit back when your bored, get the Deeper Meaning of Liff off the shelves and prepare to be laughing for ages, therefore making it the worst book to take to places where you must be quiet.
