About the Book

The English language is littered with linguistic quirks, which when taken literally, seem completely nonsensical. This collection by expert wordsmith Caroline Taggart contains some fascinating and remarkable stories about the best-loved and most colorful phrases in English.

It reveals how these familiar, oft-used expressions and cliches originate from military to meteorology - and explains their definition and correct usage. This fascinating book takes you through a wonderful journey through the history of the English language.
