Potioncat:
Uh oh. This could be bad. I read over the examples and clicked a few 
of the samples. Over a hundred words for each and some of them had me 
scratching my head and saying something like, "What the heck does 
Hellshound have to do with Barrel maker?"

I thought Francis Beaufort must have been the Prince who was drowned 
in a barrel of ale, but rather he was involved with the Navy. (Didn't 
find the connection.)

It's the sort of thing that could keep me occupied for hours! 

Most certainly there's a HP connection to the site. The first word I 
looked at from the samples was barrel maker---and of course hogshead 
was one the 100 words. The second word was museum guide and 
Bloomsbury came up.

I've bookmarked the site. It's going to be useful and entertaining.
