Items related to Common Phrases and Where They Come From
The purpose of this book is neither just to entertain although many of the idioms have entertaining, if not humorous, origins --nor just to inform, although its contents are informative. The real purpose is to acquaint you with some of your own history; a history we all share no matter what our station in life. We want to make you are of the historical circumstances that produced today's brief, colorful phrases that convey powerful meanings; to illustrate the way our language is shaped by our past history and how this history influences our current communications. While some idioms arose following significant historical events, most came out of the everyday lives of common folks. D-1
