The Oxford Dictionary of English Idioms takes a fresh look at the idiomatic phrases and sayings that make English the rich and intriguing language that it is. This new edition includes 700 entirely new entries, providing thorough coverage of figurative expressions, similes, sayings and proverbs from the entire English-speaking world., 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 third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English Idioms.

Many entries include additional features which give more detailed background on the idiom in question.
