Description
In this companion edition to her popular Verbivore’s Feast, Chrysti the Wordsmith once again examines the evolution and history of the English language, using the odd expressions and clichΓ©s that pepper it. Exploring words such as lollygag and quack, and phrases ranging from break a leg to shake a stick and from adam’s apple to trip the light fantastic, Chrysti the Wordsmith uncovers fascinating stories about their origins.
