 Words That The English Language Needs

 Many years ago I read Douglas Adams's "Meaning of Liff" and ever since then, when faced with a situation that's impossible to describe, I wish that Douglas was here to give it a name.  Now he's thrown in his mortal towel, we'd like this page to be a tribute to the man!
