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.
