The New Uxbridge English Dictionary

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Comedy's most outrageous dictionary is back with a hilarious new collection of definitions for all those English words that don’t seem to have the right meaning.

With nearly 600 new definitions, this side-splitting resource pushes the boundaries of the English language to riotous new limits.
