Catch phrases such as "shop till you drop," cliches like "life begins at forty" and idioms such as "talk the hind leg off a donkey" have long enriched the English language. Here is a collection of thousands of familiar expressions--a treasure trove of idea-starters and memory-joggers that will make for more imaginative creative writing. An advertising copywriter working on a campaign for, say, a granola-peanut product can easily find the instantly-recognizable phrase "Energy Crunch"--a clever and informative headline. Each phrase is cross-referenced by key word. Thus "raining cats and dogs," for example, appears under "cat," "dog" and "rain." In most cases, various forms of the word are listed under the root word. So under "run" you will find not only sayings that include the word "run," but those that include "running," "runneth," "runner" and "run-around."

What about "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?" and "Caught red handed?" Did "Cleanliness is next to godliness" come from the Bible? The book is illustrated and lists hundreds of references from books, plays, films, songs, poems, and even currency, letters and court records. Delve into this unique tome which is better by 'a country mile' than many others of its type.

The Homespun Collection of Catch Phrases, Slogans & Idioms is based on many years of exhaustive research by Dr. David Schaal, his office staff, patients, friends, and understanding family. To compile such an extensive list, everyone along the line was urged by Dr. Dave to jot down any idiom, slogan or catchy phrase that came to mind in a small notebook. As each notebook was filled up, another took its place until three notebooks and countless loose slips of paper were completely filled with over 2,400 sayings, slogans and idioms. Then came the task of publishing the results; a whole new ball game.
