(from the Oxtail English Dictionary) Ludlow - (noun) A wad of newspaper, folded table-napkin or lump of cardboard put under a wobbly table or chair to make it stand up straight. It is not, perhaps, widely known that air-ace Sir Douglas Bader used to to get about on an enormous pair of ludlows before he had his artificial legs fitted. |
