A dictionary/glossary/lexicon as sort of a cosmic, meeting of the minds, collaboration of the likes of Dan Webster, Sam Johnson, Ambrose Bierce, Hunter S. Thompson, Wm. F. Buckley, Grouch Marx, W. C. Fields and many more... even though its editors are obscure unknowns with dreadfully dangerous senses of humor.

Hijra: In South Asia (Pakistan), now (legally) known as the third gender. Spotted one of these on a train with Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations (Episode 2-09, 2-10?...). Well, no, they weren't together...sigh, sorry Mr. Bourdain. Is there a 4th gender? Hugo: Yeah, you. AZD: Stop it...
