From blue-blooded (an invention of aristocratic Spaniards) to limelight (a way of lighting Victorian theatres), passing an exam with flying colours (an image from sailing ships) to winning hands down (from horse racing), the fascinating expressions that make up our language are explored in Humble Pie and Cold Turkey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this highly entertaining book, language enthusiast and Sunday Times best-selling author Caroline Taggart browses through thousands of years of history to shed light on why we use the words and phrases we do. Arranged by themes including food, the household, childhood, romance and more, this intriguing book looks at the origins of our language from their historical context. For example, did you know that:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you rest on your laurels, you're imitating a complacent Roman general?\u003cbr\u003eIf you eavesdrop, you're likely to get wet?\u003cbr\u003eIf you're taken aback, you should, strictly speaking, be a sailing ship?\u003cbr\u003eIf you're galvanized into action, you're behaving like Frankenstein's monster?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHumble Pie and Cold Turkey will prompt you to question the downright bizarre idioms we use to express ourselves, and answer questions you may never have thought to ask. Including why turkeys need to be cold and how pies came to be humble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Övrigt%2BLek,%2Bspel%2B%2Bhobby'\"\u003eLek, spel \u0026amp; hobby\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Taggart%2BCaroline%2BHumble%2BPie%2Band%2BCold%2BTurkey'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Caroline%2BTaggart'\"\u003eFler böcker av Caroline Taggart\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Taggart+Caroline\"\u003eTaggart, Caroline\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Humble+Pie+and+Cold+Turkey\"\u003eHumble Pie and Cold Turkey\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Hachette+UK+Distribution\"\u003eHachette UK Distribution\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Spel\"\u003eSpel\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 140303235\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette UK Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Häftad","offer_id":44371444597003,"sku":"140303235","price":138.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/140303235.jpg?v=1706997476","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/140303235","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
