About
The Uxbridge English Dictionary for the Clueless is an affectionate, fan-made tribute to the long-running BBC Radio 4 panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, which has been graciously baffling listeners since 1972.
On the show, panellists are invited to supply new, daft definitions for perfectly ordinary words. We thought it would be jolly to invite people from around the world to do the same here, vote for the best, and watch a global living dictionary slowly assemble itself.
How it works
- Anyone can submit a word and a humorous definition.
- Anyone can add more definitions to an existing word.
- The public votes thumbs up or down on each definition.
- Each word displays its Top 3 ranked definitions, with all other contenders listed below.
- The editor reviews any submissions auto-flagged for potentially harmful content.
House rules
- Be funny, be daft, be silly. The wittier the better.
- No slurs, no abuse, no targeted attacks. Anything that crosses the line will be removed.
- Keep it light. This is a place for wordplay, not for warfare.
With deepest gratitude to the late Humphrey Lyttelton, Jack Dee, Barry Cryer, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, and all who have ever pretended to be Mrs Trellis of North Wales.
