Dozen Soft
Can anyone tell me the name or author of this book about phrases and sayings?
A fews years ago I was looking through my father's library and came upon a book that was called either Sayings/Phrases and what they mean/where they came from.
It was a soft cover book that had just lists and lists of phrases like "Catch-22" and "6 of 1, half a dozen of another" and where they came from and what they mean. It was so interesed and I can't find it.
Does anyone know the name or the author?
I know of several books that sound like what you're looking for. One book is "Heavens To Betsy: and Other Curious Sayings" by Charles E. Funk. Amazon is selling the book at $12.56: http://www.amazon.com/Heavens-Betsy-Other-Curious-Sayings/dp/0060513314
Three other books just like that one by the same author are "Thereby Hangs a Tale: Stories of Curious Word Origins" also at Amazon for $12.56: http://www.amazon.com/Thereby-Hangs-Tale-Stories-Curious/dp/0060513381/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b
"Horsefeathers and Other Curious Words" at $11.01: http://www.amazon.com/Horsefeathers-Curious-Charles-E-Funk/dp/0060513373/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_c
And "A Hog On Ice: and Other Curious Expressions" for $12.30: http://www.amazon.com/Hog-Ice-Other-Curious-Expressions/dp/0060513292/ref=pd_sim_b_2
