Definitions

Adjective
  1. 1
    Of or pertaining to P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975), English writer and humorist known for his eccentric half-witted characters and excellent prose.

    "Wodehousian farce, like all other kinds of farce — like most comedy, for that matter — nurses a deep suspicion that the ability to reason is an overrated gift, and what counts in farce is not originality of meaning but freshness of image."
