"Have you ever wondered where terms like 'Angostura bitters' and the 'green room' come from? Or why we call some people 'lounge lizards' and others 'sugar daddies'? These are just a few of the words and phrases that language expert Max Cryer examines in this fact-filled new book. He explains where such colourful expressions come from, what they mean and how they are used. Along the way he tells a host of colourful anecdotes and dispels quite a few myths too. Did Churchill originate the phrase 'black dog'? And if 'ivory tower' can be found in the Bible, why has its meaning changed so drastically?"--Back cover. |
