It's Raining Cats and Dogs--and Other Beastly Expressions by Christine Ammer Pdf
Do you have an "eagle-eye" for a bargain? Have you ever been "hounded" by a "loan-shark" or hustled by a "pool-shark"? Have you been the victim of a "stool-pigeon" or a "rat", or the "scapegoat" for some "foxy" character's misdeeds? Expressions like these lend color and character to our everyday conversation. Many of them are so familiar that we rarely pause to wonder how or when they came into use in the language. But their origins are fascinating to discover and fun to share.
Offers insight into an autistic person's mind through classic figures of speech that contain confusing or contradictory wording, drawings that show what he believes the expressions mean, and their actual meanings.
Ross combines the vintage artwork and ephemera that make her Sweet Nellie series so popular with contemporary whimsy and a theme that sells perennially--pets! Charming antique tidbits are culled from friendship cards, postcards, valentines, and advertisements to create an adorable animal romp that's sure to please.

"The pianist made a tobacco", "I am not in my plate today", "She is a real cannonball"... Vos amis anglais rient à gorge déployée en entendant vos expressions, vos collaborateurs australiens se tiennent les côtes devant vos traductions littérales, vos correspondants américains sont pliés en quatre en écoutant vos idiomes ? C'en est fini ! Parlez enfin un anglais fluent en découvrant plus de mille expressions idiomatiques du langage de tous les jours. Regroupés en vingt grands thèmes, du loisir au travail en passant par l'amour ou la météo, mettez toutes les chances de votre côté pour que plus personne ne vous dise jamais : "You speak English like a Spanish cow !"
Do you "know" that posh comes from an acronym meaning "port out, starboard home"? That "the whole nine yards" comes from (pick one) the length of a WWII gunner's belt; the amount of fabric needed to make a kilt; a sarcastic football expression? That Chicago is called "The Windy City" because of the bloviating habits of its politicians, and not the breeze off the lake? If so, you need this book. David Wilton debunks the most persistently wrong word histories, and gives, to the best of our actual knowledge, the real stories behind these perennially mis-etymologized words. In addition, he explains why these wrong stories are created, disseminated, and persist, even after being corrected time and time again. What makes us cling to these stories, when the truth behind these words and phrases is available, for the most part, at any library or on the Internet? Arranged by chapters, this book avoids a dry A-Z format. Chapters separate misetymologies by kind, including The Perils of Political Correctness (picnics have nothing to do with lynchings), Posh, Phat Pommies (the problems of bacronyming--the desire to make every word into an acronym), and CANOE (which stands for the Conspiracy to Attribute Nautical Origins to Everything). Word Myths corrects long-held and far-flung examples of wrong etymologies, without taking the fun out of etymology itself. It's the best of both worlds: not only do you learn the many wrong stories behind these words, you also learn why and how they are created--and what the real story is.
