Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that 'flavour of the month' originated in a marketing campaign in American ice-cream parlours in the 1940s, when a particular flavour would be specially promoted for a month at a time? And did you know that 'off the cuff' refers to the rather messy practice of writing impromptu notes on one's shirt cuff before speaking in public? These and many more idioms are explained and put into context in this second edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Idioms. This vastly entertaining dictionary takes a fresh look at the idiomatic phrases and sayings that make English such a rich and intriguing language. A major new edition, it contains entries for over 5000 idioms, including 350 new entries and over 500 new quotations. The text has been updated to include many new idioms using the findings of the Oxford English Reading Programme, the biggest language research programme in the world. The entries are supported by a wealth of illustrative quotations from a wide range of sources and periods. For example: 'Rowling has not been asleep at the wheel in the three years since the last Potter novel, and I am pleased to report that she has not confused sheer length with inspiration.' - Guardian, 2003. 'I made the speech of a lifetime. I had them tearing up the seats and rolling in the aisles.' - P.G. Woodhouse, 1940. Many entries include boxed features which give more detailed background on the idiom in question. For example, did you know that 'taken aback' was adopted from nautical terminology, and described a ship unable to move forward because of a strong headwind pressing its sails back against the mast? The text has been entirely redesigned so that it is both elegant and easy to use. Anyone interested in the quirky side of the English language will have hours of fun browsing through this fascinating and informative volume.

That the conflict within you is destroying your daily life, keeping you from living in peace and harmony? But there is good news! Once you recognize this, you can begin a journey of self-discovery, eradicating the monster lurking inside, and unveiling your true purpose. A Treasure Chest of Phrases, Expressions, and Idioms is a collection of over 2500 sayings—some light and witty, some thought-provoking and serious—with an overarching theme of encouragement and a message of faith and spirituality, designed to help you overcome temptation and evil, avoid hidden pitfalls that diminish your days, and live peacefully and happily. This book is full of insight about the heart (invisible and spiritual), which is influenced by concupiscence (sexual desires), whose goal it is to mislead the heart, and the importance of developing a strong soul in order to help the heart from allowing this to happen. You will sometimes laugh and sometimes ruminate over these unique and creative sayings, including: • If you blog, make sure you also jog. • Count your blessings, not your bank balance. • Let your soul be the doctor, mind be the nurse, and heart be the patient. • When you giggle, your heart jiggles. A Treasure Chest of Phrases, Expressions, and Idioms will assist you in discovering the root causes and symptoms of moral degradation and ways you can cure it so you can live your best life.
