āCaroline Taggart has carved out a niche for herself in
user-friendly, wittily written factual books.ā ā Yorkshire Post
______________________ The huge variety of colourful phrases
contained in the English language are notoriously varied and,
often, notably odd. From blue-blooded (an invention of aristocratic
Spaniards) to limelight (a way of lighting Victorian theatres),
passing an exam with flying colours (an image from sailing ships)
to winning hands down (from horse racing), the fascinating
expressions that make up our language are explored in Humble Pie
and Cold Turkey. In this highly entertaining book, language
enthusiast and Sunday Times best-selling author Caroline Taggart
browses through thousands of years of history to shed light on why
we use the words and phrases we do. Arranged by themes including
food, the household, childhood, romance and more, this intriguing
book looks at the origins of our language from their historical
context. For example, did you know that: If you rest on your
laurels, youāre imitating a complacent Roman general? If you
eavesdrop, youāre likely to get wet? If youāre taken aback, you
should, strictly speaking, be a sailing ship? If youāre
galvanized into action, youāre behaving like Frankensteinās
monster? Humble Pie and Cold Turkey will prompt you to question the
downright bizarre idioms we use to express ourselves, and answer
questions you may never have thought to ask. Including why turkeys
need to be cold and how pies came to be humble.
