In this entertaining book, language enthusiast and Sunday Times bestselling author Caroline Taggart browses through thousands of years of history to shed light on why we use the words and phrases we do. Did you know that: If you rest on your laurels, you're imitating a complacent Roman general? If you eavesdrop, you're likely to get wet? If you're taken aback, you should, strictly speaking, be a sailing ship? Humble Pie and Cold Turkey answers questions you may never have thought to ask - including why turkeys need to be cold and how pies came to be humble.
