What is Mooreeffoc?
ÒAnd
there is (especially for the humble) Mooreeffoc, or Chestertonian Fantasy. Mooreeffoc is a fantastic word, but it could be seen written up
in every town in this land
[England]. It is ÔCoffee-room,Õ viewed from
the inside through a glass
door, as it was seen by Dickens on a
dark London day; and it was used
by Chesterton to denote the queerness of things that
have become trite, when they are
seen suddenly from a new
angle.Ó The Tolkien Reader, p 58
