The Diabolikon

~or~

A Dictionary of Dodgy Definitions

Volume I: A - K

This little bit of fun was inspired (?) by the B.B.C. Radio 4 programme,
I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue together with word games
we used to play when we were younger.

Hopefully, these are all original - or old chestnuts - but it's always possible
that memories may have clawed their way to the forefront of my brain;
in which case, abject and humble apologies .
