Flavell, Linda - Flavell, Roger : Dictionary of Idioms and Their Origins
- description
- additional information
What is an idiom? Among other things, it is an expression whose words do not mean what they say. English contains a great store of idioms that can be used in creative and forceful ways. The Dictionary of Idioms examines over 500 of these expressions, tracing each one's source and history. New entries include 'to play fast and loose (from a 16th-century fairground game) and 'head over heels (an illogical variation on the more sensible 'heels over head').
