by Richard Lederer (Author)

To the man or woman who knows its origin, each word presents a picture, no matter how ordinary it may appear. Best-selling language author Richard Lederer passionately and humorously presents illuminating stories about the histories and mysteries of everyday words and phrases. In this hardcover book, Dr. Lederer illuminates the history and mystery of everyday words and expressions, organizing these etymologies into thirteen thematic clusters, including body parts; wild kingdom; entertainment, land, sea, air, and beyond; politics; sports; science; and religion.

Typical of Richard Lederer's brand of language dressed up to have fun, be prepared to laugh as you learn.
