If there is one non-living thing that I cannot live without it is the Dictionary. I have always wanted the dictionary to be on my tongue-tip. Yet to this day, I have an average vocabulary. I like words and idioms probably more than anything else.
When I was 18, I had torn pages of the Oxford Advanced Learner’s dictionary according to alphabets [26 booklets!] so that I can easily ‘mug it up’; that is yet to happen. 
Recently, I read pages 716 to 721 of the dictionary [alphabet L]. Some of the intersting entries were:
La-di-da [upper class tantrums/disapproving]
Laboured [not natural and seeming to take a lot of effort]
the land of milk and honey [Ok! I know you know what it means]
La-la land [also Cloud-Cuckoo land]
Labour under something [to believe something that's not true]
Languid [moving slowly in a graceful manner not needing enery/effort; mostly used in written form; languidly]
