Why do people 'take 40 winks' and not 50...or 60, or 70? Did someone literally 'let the cat out of the bag' at one point in time? Has anyone actually 'gone on a wild goose chase'? Find out the answers to these questions and many more in this enormous collection, comprised of four bestselling titles: A Hog on Ice, Thereby Hangs a Tale, Heavens to Betsy! and Horsefeathers and Other Curious Words. Dr. Funk, editorinchief of the Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary Series, reveals the sometimes surprising, often amusing, and always fascinating roots of more than 2,000 vernacular words and expressions. From 'kangaroo court' to 'onehorse town', from 'face the music' to 'hocuspocus,' it's an entertaining linguistic journey.
