Sep 9, 2009
By Durdles, Swansea, The United Kingdom

"A very clever idea to use place names to describe things for which no word exists. Not an original idea but the results are amusing and sometimes inspired e.g. taken at random:
Eads: The sludgy bits at the bottom of the dustbin, underneath the actual bin liner.
Patney: Something your next door neighbour makes and insists that you try on your sausages.
My favourite one isn't in the book though. Risca: Something white and gooey found at the back of the fridge that might be o.k. for frying something with.
It inspires you to try it yourself: Cardiff: The transient sensation of unfamiliarity with your own vehicle after you've been driving someone else's. No?"
