👉 A dictionary weapon is a term used to describe a type of improvised weapon crafted from the components found within a standard English dictionary. These weapons typically involve using words, phrases, and their meanings as building blocks to create functional tools of violence. For example, a dictionary knife might be fashioned from the handle and blade of a dictionary, or a dictionary machete could be constructed using words like "machete" and "knife." The term reflects the creative and resourceful nature of individuals who resort to such methods, often in desperate situations, to defend themselves or assert dominance.
