The Cassell dictionary of English idioms

Author:	Rosalind Fergusson
Publisher:	London : Cassell, 1999.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"The English language is packed with idioms whose meanings and origins often seem shrouded in the mists of obscurity. This dictionary takes a fresh look at some 10,000 of them, providing clear and precise definitions for expressions, and in many cases tracing their history back to the source. Folk traditions, myths and legends, professions, trades and individuals are all shown to have made their mark on the language, and their varied contributions are all noted and explained. In addition, slang and colloquial usages are carefully labelled, and a large number of examples are included illustrating the contexts in which particular idioms are or should be used."--Jacket.  Read more...
