You should check-out Webb Garrison's book, "Why You SAY IT" It shares the stories of over 600 everyday words and phrases. It is interesting, and kind of fun to read all the origins of things. I enjoyed seeing the everyday phrases that I use often, and to find out how they actually came about it. Some were funny, some were weird, and some just didn't make any sense. If you are a word person or into origins of phrases and things of that nature. This book is for you. It is laid out in different chapters which were kind of random to me. I would have like to just see all the words alphabetically listed, and all the phrases alphabetically listed throughout the book. You are able to search the index to find certain words or phrases if you don't want to read the entire book or are looking for something specific. It overall was a fun read.
