TSO got the new Uxbridge English Dictionary for Christmas.
And there was a music themed UED game on the Mornington Crescent thread.
A lift of my definitions follows:
Ragtime = monthly feminine condition
Allegro = a line or queue of lower limbs
Pizzicato = takeaway food for felines
Homophony = pretending to be a man
Madrigal = King George
Pentatonic = five gins no water
Prelude = just before you get flashed
Staccato = to stack cats
and from TSO
Crotchet = one quater irritable
Indie = All in the same key
Nobless O'Blige = famous Irish castrato
There a few other really good ones on that thread but as they are not mine or TSO's I won't lift them.
