Description
Dont be down in the dumps if you cant cut the mustard when asked the definition of certain English phrases - this down-to-earth guide is just the ticket. Lets not beat about the bush: the English language is littered with linguistic quirks, which, taken literally, seem completely nonsensical - but expert wordsmith Caroline Taggart is on the ball. Make no bones about it, this collection contains some fascinating and remarkable stories about our best-loved and most colourful phrases. These familiar, well-worn expressions and clichs, the staples of our language, originate from the most diverse sources. From advertising to the Ancient Greeks, from the military to meteorology, this book takes us on a wonderful journey through our languages history. So, if youre sick as a parrot, this collection will nip it in the bud; if youre a fish out of water, it will cut to the chase; and if youre in a pickle, it wont break the bank. Now thats a turn up for the books.
