A Dictionary of Cliches

Front Cover
Taylor & Francis, Apr 2, 2004 - Reference - 272 pages
This work is full of things better left unsaid: hackneyed phrases, idioms battered into senselessness, infuriating Gallicisms, once-familiar quotations and tags from the ancient classics. It makes a formidable list, amplified as it is with definitions, sources, and indications of the clichés, venerability in every case.
