An Idiot's Love of Idioms

by Nick Smethurst
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

Ever wondered where the sayings we commonly use originate from? Sometimes the things we say, if we really think about it, make absolutely no logical sense. Why on earth has a cat got my tongue? Why does a wall have ears? And why the heck are my ears burning? Why would I possibly want to break a leg? If you think you know the answers, you might be close but have no cigar and if you don't want to wake up on the wrong side of the bed or even worse, wait until you kick the bucket then you may want to step up to the plate and read on. Now I certainly don't want to read the Riot Act on you and I think by hook or by crook if you read this book you'll be happy as Larry and as pleased as Punch. I don't want to be a clever clogs but by and large I think you'll have a field day with what you'll discover, if you catch my drift?
