Popis

Did you know that 'flavour of the month' originated in a marketingcampaign in American ice-cream parlours in the 1940s, when aparticular flavour would be specially promoted for a month at atime? And did you know that 'off the cuff' refers to the rathermessy practice of writing impromptu notes on one's shirt cuffbefore speaking in public? These and many more idioms are explainedand put into context in this third edition of the Oxford Dictionaryof English Idioms. The volume takes a fresh look at the idiomaticphrases and sayings that make English the rich and intriguinglanguage that it is. This major new edition contains entries forover 6,000 idioms, including 700 entirely new entries, based onOxford's language monitoring and the ongoing third edition of theOxford English Dictionary. These include a range of recentlyestablished idioms such as 'the elephant in the corner', 'gofigure', 'like a rat up a drainpipe', 'sex on legs', 'step up tothe plate', 'too posh to push', 'a walk in the park', 'win ugly'.This edition also features a greatly increased number ofcross-references, making it ideal for quick reference. Many entriesinclude additional features which give more detailed background onthe idiom in question. For example, did you know that 'taken aback'was adopted from nautical terminology that described a ship unableto move forward because of a strong headwind pressing its sailsback against the mast? Anyone interested in the colourful side ofthe English language will get hours of fun browsing from thisfascinating and informative volume.
