: Fight The Hypo

The Best Page in the Dictionary

By Dr. Bombay (index)

While looking through Black’s Law Dictionary, Third Pocket Edition today, I found the best page in the history of dictionaries. Page 545 containes definitions for “polyandry”, “polygamy”, “polygraph”, “polygyny” (similary to bigamy), “Ponzi Scheme”, “pork-barrel legislation”, and “pornography.”

You could not put together a more hillarious combination of words if you tried.
