Caterham (n.) - An overwhelming desire to use the Pope's hat as an oven glove. Clavering (n.) - Pretending to text when alone and feeling vulnerable in public. Eworthy Of a person: worth emailing but not worth phoning or meeting. Kanumbra (n.) - The sense that someone is standing behind you. Ljubljana interj. What people say to the dentist on the way out. Loughborough (n.) - The false gusto with which children eat vegetables in adverts. Sorrento. The thing that goes round and round as a YouTube video loads.
