If asked, off the cuff, to unravel the many unusual and vibrant phrases that adorn our language, most of us wouldn’t have a cat in hell’s chance – but we’d do our level best.
In this collection, however, bestselling author Caroline Taggart gets down to the nitty-gritty on the quirky expressions that we use in everyday speech – drumming up an insight into their origins and meanings, and opening up a world of old chestnuts, cold turkeys, and crocodile tears.
With more phrases than you can shake a stick at, this collection will bring home the bacon for any Tom, Dick, or Harry with a love of language.
