There were some amusing humorous definitions in this dictionary, but, one thing that was annoying was that for many terms, only the humorous definition was given. If the reader did not know what this term actually meant, they still didn't know what it meant, leaving the reader frustrated, having to Google the meaning. For example, Vermiculite's meaning is given as: 'Obscure order of nuns dedicated to gardening...'. It's actual meaning, after Googling, is: Vermiculite is a mineral that improves drainage and moisture retention in potting mixes. ( ) Qualche esempio: “Perennial”: Any plant which, had it lived, would have bloomed for years and years. / “Harrowing”: Type of gardening experience that produces furrows. / “Rot”: gardening advice. / “Seed”: Costly, but highly nutritious form of bird food sold in handsome packets printed with colourful pictures of flowers and vegetables.
