Spent some time reading the late, lamented Douglas Adam's and John Lloyd's (QI) 'Meaning of Liff' the other day. This isn't in the same league, but I couldn't resist it:
Nork: Mythical creature with immense powers of observation - "she watched him like a nork"
Cravat: Noise made by frogs in public school grounds
Lariat: Hat worn by Lawrence
Pepysshow: Odd entertainment in which scantily-clad young women show men their diaries for money
per se: Very affected pronunciation of the name 'Percy'
Carpet: Small animal found in vehicle, usually on the parcel shelf.
Scarf: The answer to the question "What do you call a baby cow?"
Now find more of the same at More Bye Definition
