DICTIONARY
A book, generally in alphabetical order, which lists the
definitions of a number of words. It is often postulated that
persons who are unfamiliar with the spellings of words should refer
to dictionaries. This is of course bullshit, 'cos if you don't know
how the word's spelt, how are you going to find it? The people that
make this sort of suggestion are probably child-molesting Osmond
fans who enjoy anal sex with kangaroos in the corridors of mental
hospitals...
I'm sorry. But it's been bothering me lately.
