Why Do We Say That? 101 Idioms, Phrases, Sayings & Facts! A Brief History On Where They Come From!

A quick, varied read but great fun. You will learn something without even trying.

Good read

This book isn’t just about idioms; it’s about stories from the past that explain why we say what we do. I found it so interesting to learn that “to run amuck” comes from warriors in Southeast Asia who fought wildly. It makes me appreciate everyday expressions more. Easy to read and full of cool facts, perfect for anyone who loves learning new things.

Good for useless information . Big print with pictures so kids may enjoy it too if you can get them off the computer and they know what a book is .

I purchased this book for my 9 y/o grandson. He absolutely loves it!. He's always talking about it and educating family members.

My husband alway asks where little sayings come from & now he knows. He loves this book

my mother-in-law loves these types of books and she is really enjoying this one

They sent the me a different color than what I ordered. Other than that the product is ok

A great pick up a browse book that you can't put down once you start. You also then find yourself quoting the random facts to anyone that is willing to listen. I am waiting for quiz season to start and hoping that some of these questions are going to come up so that I can be that one person that knows very random facts now! It's a brilliant little book & makes a nice gift because let's face it, we've all said, "why do we say that?" at some point.

Lots of interesting and informative fun facts.

I bought this Why Do We Say That book as a stocking stuffer Christmas gift. It appeared to be very interesting and was well received. It is fun to learn the origins of our common phrases.
