Archive digging again, it's so fun to look through your old stuff to see something you might have missed...

Using a bit of inversion and a bit of cropping, The Little Webster dictionary, which is at least 60:years old provides the definition of bit. Amusing to me the first definition is in regards to a horse. But if you look now at the Merriam-Webster, the definitions include so many more items such as words in a play, computer parts, tools, and more. ODC: just a bit

Hay algo que no me termina de convencer de los libros electrónicos

 

Today, some definitions. Definitions from the Rhyl Wenglish dictionary, Wenglish being an odd mix of North Walian and Scouse. I know the Oxford is the definitive English tome, however we're a bit more down to earth and on the streets here. For flips sake, they call a microwave oven a 'ping-ping' round these parts. I jest not. I mean, who in their right minds wouldn't go to Argos and ask for a thermo-nuclear sustainance regeneration device, rather than a ping-ping?

 

Anyway, to the definitions.

 

Rugex (n) rug-gecks

 

A special train to take fans to a stadium to watch a game involving largely overgrown men tossing odd shaped balls around and indulging in an awful lot of group hugging.

 

Tossers (n) toss-sirs

 

Fans of said game, so called because of their love of said tossing activities.

 

I think that's enough dictionaryisms for today.

 

Here's a Rugex, alas not today's. I braved the wind and the snow to phot 1V90. My dedication was repayed by the WAG set being replaced by 175110. Those Arriva wags eh? You gotta admire their sense of humour. Not.

 

So here's one of 1V90 at Rhyl on 26 November 2016, 67022 pushing on.

It has a leather cover and I think it was meant to be a souvenir because the picture is of Boulder Dam and it says Las Vegas, Nev. across the bottom right corner.

Had to settle for an easy one to reach my goal of one entry for each letter of the alphabet, but that doesn't mean that I'll stop adding entries to the dictionary :-)
