Fuller's Dictionary of Daffynitions by Stephen Fuller
Did you know that...
dilate means to exceed average life expectancy? That pokemon is a Jamaican card-sharp? Touch ‘n’ Go is a shampoo for the critically ill? Lambada is young sheep with artificial limbs? Mascarpone means to disguise a small horse? Testimony is funding for scrotal surgery? Rhyme is a small, green, Japanese citrus fruit? or that. warbling is military medals?
No? Well, you’re in for a few more surprises...
Fuller’s Dictionary of Daffynitions is the lexicon for all students of wordplay... an Aladdin’s cave of double entendre and innuendo; an encyclopaedia of equivoque; an arsenal of ammunition for exponents of bon mots, burlesque and badinage... a veritable punsters’ paradise.

Yet another book offering the ultimate in word play and double meanings.But what none state is that the double meanings are all down to the authors own interpretation and none are based on actual fact. So whilst you might find some entertaining and humerous; you will equally find others which just make you cringe. This book was given to me as a gift which is probably just right if you are stuck for something to give somebody who likes words. This one is no better or no worse than any of the others out there (some parts hilarious, others shocking) but I will say the others sell for a lot less and as such I would buy them.
