THIS SITE WAS CREATED BECAUSE I FOUND MYSELF USING MANY SAYINGS AND EXPRESSIONS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR LITERAL MEANING OR HOW AND WHERE THEY ORIGINATED. I BEGAN LISTENING MORE CLOSELY TO WHAT PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY SAYING. IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY SAYINGS AND EXPRESSIONS WE USE EVERYDAY. MOST OF THE SAYINGS AND EXPRESSIONS ON THIS SITE YOU WILL RECOGNIZE, I AM SURE YOU HAVE USED MANY OF THEM AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER OVER THE YEARS. MY FATHER HAD A MILLION OF THEM AND I GUESS I PICKED UP THE LION'S SHARE FROM HIM.

The Americans, who are the most efficient people on earth, have invented so wide a range of pithy and hackneyed phrases that they can carry on a conversation without giving a moment's reflection to what they are saying and so leave their minds free to consider the more important matters of big business and fornication.
Somerset Maugham (1965) Cakes and Ale
