the Hamer dictionary

Know this book? The dictionary for potters.. Every now and then I flip it open to look up some word I can't remember and end up just..skimming through. I never really know what I'm looking for but I really just enjoy some of the words..because with my retarded, teenage sense of humor..I just find some of them so funny.

Here's a few of my favorites:

Clobbering

Brown mouth

Bung

Lime Blows

Humper

Rainbow effect

Pigskin

Winning

hehe...
