Description: Product Description
The origins of even more Phrases we use every day. Where is the last chance saloon ? Who was Gordon Bennett ? Why isn't red tape black ? Why do we have a hunch, get the cold shoulder or laugh like a drain ? Why do we say skinflint, dressed up to the nines and out of the blue - and, of course, shaggy dog stories and black sheep ?
