Our primary goal in compiling this dictionary is to write at least one limerick for each meaning of each and every word in the English language. Our best limericks will clearly define their words in a humorous or interesting way, although some may provide more entertainment than definition, or vice versa.
As an international writing project, our limericks often use local spellings, grammar, punctuation, and rhymes that may not be familiar to all. Please keep in mind that what may at first look like an error is more likely to be an appropriate regionalism, correct according to the standards of the writer's homeland.
Opinions expressed in our limericks are those of the individual authors and/or the fictional characters in their writing and do not necessarily reflect those of The OEDILF or its editors.
