This absorbing collection of metaphors includes a variety of
expressions with figurative meanings, like similes, proverbs, slang
and catchphrases. It is the result of a lifetime of work on dialect
and metaphor and gives an overview of the folk wisdom expressed in
figurative expressions. The author draws on his extensive contact
with the rural cultures of Dorset, Cornwall, Yorkshire and
Lancashire, but has also included a range of sayings from North
America, Australia, Scotland and other English speaking countries.
With revised contents and an improved index to make individual
entries easier to find, the Concise can be used to check the
meaning and the origin of an expression or to avoid mixed
metaphors, anachronisms and incongruities. It is a joy to browse
long after your original query has been answered.
