English Lesson 6

Here is a further part of a dedicated compilation of Uxbridge Dictionary definitions from the classic radio series of "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" since its launch in 1972.

It is the tireless work of Kevin Hale, undoubtedly the greatest fan and authority on the subject. It continues my listing in alphabetical order having reached "F".
