Let's Talk Turkey
Ever wonder what going on the wagon has to do with drinking? Why does extreme behaviour take the cake? And did Americans' pocket change ever really include wooden nickels? Many of our most intriguing expressions grew slut of once-familiar bits of American culture. This title demystifies over 150 of these colourful home-grown figures of speech.
