30 years after The Meaning of Liff, Afterliff will be the funniest book of the year: a dictionary of brand new hilarious definitions of things there should be words for.

Agharoo n. - A larger-than-life sneeze in a Bollywood comedy, used as the basis for a dance routine.

Toames pl.n. - The first furtive touching of toes in bed after a severe row with your partner.

Ruswarp v. - To deliberately write a word unclearly when you don't know how to spell it.

Loudwater n. - A child's strongly held opinion, copied word for word from its parents.

Inverness n. - The loneliness of garden chairs in winter.

John Lloyd and Jon Canter have written and sourced hundreds of new definitions which are now brought together for the first time in Afterliff. Always funny, often profound and entirely unique, this is the essential book for anyone who finds there aren't enough words to describe what happens in everyday life.
