English Sayings & Idioms

Posted by James Briggs on February 07, 2000

I have a list of about 500 phrases, many of which you don't seem to have. I've found out the origin of most,
eg a better one for Catch 22 than you have - why was the book called Catch 22 is the real question, not
how the title came to be used as it is! There are too many phrases to put the origins on my little site,
but perhaps I could be linked with yours to give even more phrases for people to argue over!
