            Do we know any autohagiographers?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Cheers HJ. Reminds me of 'fizgig', which from memory means:

              1. Giddy girl
              2. Trumpery knickknack.

                    Looks like a high-brow Victorian version of the Urban Dictionary, with equally many made up words that no one ever used.
