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 clichés 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.
