Belgium!

"Belgium" is a swear word from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Of the word it explains that "The concept it embodies is so revolting that the publication or broadcast of the word is utterly forbidden in all parts of the galaxy, except one, where they don't know what it means."

However, it never gets around to explaining exactly what this utterly revolting concept is, exactly.

SO, anyways, I thought it'd be sort of fun to see who could all come up with definitions for the word. Anybody? Anybody?

No clue but I love the book.

Belgium: (adj) used to

Belgium: (adj) used to exclaim the high quality of a breakfast food.
Example: This waffle isn't just good... it's belgium.

Be yourself. 'Cause if you're busy being somebody else, who's gonna be you?

Hmm...

I finished reading HHGTTG, but it was largely against my will. I rarely don't finish a book, play, etc., no matter how bad it is.
