If you've always wanted to get a fix on our most interesting and widely used expressions, this new dictionary of idioms will set you straight! This dictionary contains nearly 10,000 idioms and phrases. Each idiom is clearly defined and illustrated with at least one example sentence or quotation that will allow you to stay on top of America's favorite expressions.

"Bite the bullet,"" get on the stick," "make no bones about it,"" take the cake." The American Heritage(R) Dictionary of Idioms covers almost 10,000 expressions. Its main fare is, of course, idioms - groups of two or more words that together mean something different from the literal meaning of the individual words. In addition, this book discusses verb phrases such as" act up," "freeze out," and" get down," figures of speech such as "dark horse" and "blind as a bat," interjections and formulas like "says who" and" tough beans," common proverbs like a "bird in the hand," and slang terms such as "buy the farm" and "push up daisies." Each entry is defined and has an example sentence showing the expression in context. Most entries offer an explanation of the expression's literal meaning or origin and include information about its first appearance in English.

Did you know that 'flavor of the month' originated in a marketing campaign in American ice-cream parlors in the 1940s, when a particular flavor 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. The volume takes a fresh look at the idiomatic phrases and sayings that make English the rich and intriguing language that it is.
