Ever wondered where a particular saying originated? Me neither, but I love this site all the same.
From 'A skeleton in the closet' to 'Get on my wick' the Phrase Finder has stacks of English sayings, phrases and idioms with which to astound your family and friends with while you waste the time you are always so short of (anyone spot the terrible grammar there, or indeed didn't collapse from shortage of breath)?

About Me
- Maureen
- I'm an editor with Crooked Cat Books (I freelance too!) and author of Trace your Roots (Crooked Cat) and co-author of The Writer’s ABC Checklist (Accent Press). My work has appeared in newspapers, magazines and on the Web and I'm a past winner of The Writers’ Advice Centre for Children’s Books contest. I've tutored workshops, judged online writing contests and currently critique stories for a leading UK writers' mag. Oh, and I'm not nearly as solemn as I look in this picture.
