A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Are you at the end of your rope, wouldn't it be nice if someone would throw you an olive branch at the eleventh hour instead of passing the buck? 'Why You Say It' explores the history of these and over six hundred other common and uncommon phrases in an intriguing and entertaining way. Have you ever wondered what rhubarb and angry mobs have in common, why we call them red-letter days, or what loaded for bear actually means? With delightful insight into how our language grows and changes 'Why You Say It' is intellectually stimulating and easy to read.
