Everton Dictionary

[Davideeyore]

I've stumbled upon what I think is a groundbreaking idea for a thread.

'Everton that'
It's such a thrown term, covering so much bull, that I found it difficult to describe in one sentence for someone.

I threw out the question to the Twitter sphere and I'm a fan of the replies. It got me thinking, s a collective, we could render the Collins Dictionary to the bin.

We've so may turns-of-phrases, it would be interesting to see how they could be explained in one sentence.

'Everton That'
Adjective:
When you provide unexplainable moments of comedy, frustration, and annoyance.

There's a book there for someone.

I seem to have inherited at some point (no idea how) an A-Z of Mersey soccer / football from the 70's. That's definitely a book for someone
an Everton dictionary.

Imagine!

It'll be ring fenced.
