A Dictionary of Cliches: With an Introductory Essay
A Dictionary of Cliches With an Introductory Essay
Author: Eric Partridge
This work is full of things better left unsaid: hackneyed phrases, idioms battered into senselessness, infuriating Gallicisms, once-familiar quotations and tags from the ancient classics. It makes a formidable list, amplified as it is with definitions, sources, and indications of the cliches, venerability in every case.
