About this product

Product Information

This entertaining book takes an in-depth look at hundreds of common expressions in their many forms--where they came from, what they mean, how they've evolved over time, and their prominence in today's society. Clichés, those trite little phrases that often get a point across quickly and efficiently, have become such a familiar part of the English language and people's everyday speech. This entertaining book takes an in-depth look at hundreds of these common expressions in their many forms--where they came from, what they mean, how they've evolved over time, and their prominence in today's society. Inside you'll discover hundreds explored and explained, such as... · "Thinking outside the box" · "All hands on deck" · "My way or the highway" · "To be perfectly honest" · Technical terms, like "collateral damage" and "pushing the envelope" · And many others! You'll quickly discover why this fun little compendium is truly the best thing since sliced bread!
