Uxbridge English Dictionary - part 1

If there's anyone out there that isn't familiar with Radio 4s "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" - it often features a round entitled "Uxbridge English Dictionary" - as opposed to be somewhat better known Oxford version.

The players take turns in coming up with definitions of words that may be a tad off the mark. Hopefully most of these haven't already been used on the show (I didn't nick any, honest!)

Abacus – Swedish pop quartet use unsuitable language

Abattoir – French trio impersonate Swedish group

Adroit – Brummies agree on correctness of advertisement

Antifreeze - when she's too big to consume in one meal (see Munchkin)

Artichokes – Mr. Garfunkel splutters and coughs

Bastion - tiny but unpopular charged particle

Behold - a hive

Cemented – driven mad by sailors

Conclusion – Magician makes nose disappear

Confine – the scam is working well

Confluence – Faked hypnosis

Conjoin – blend together more than one scam

Constrain – Transport prisoners by rail

Continental - be driven mad by Europeans

Contraband – Nicaraguan musical group

Convergence – Lead a man to falsely believe he is the first

Convince – Appropriate Van Gogh’s money by deception

Convulsion – A deep dislike of Tories
