English Lesson 22

Up to the letter "V" .I'm struggling when it comes to funny definitions of words beginning with that letter. 

The famous participants and contributors to the BBC Radio show "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" similarly found the 22nd letter of the alphabet to be a barren source of comedy. 

I have trawled through the wonderful resource that is the ISIHAC output from the past decades as compiled by Superfan Kevin Hales and dug out a few although I have had to resort to making up a few of my own to get anywhere close to a decent number.
