What Did You Say? What Do You Mean? An Illustrated Guide to Understanding Metaphors

Jude Welton

Expressions that don't really mean what they say, such as 'he needs a square meal', 'she's got a bone to pick with him', can be confusing at first but can be fun to use when they become familiar. This book introduces 100 common sayings and explains what people mean when they use them. Paperback 112 pages 2004
