With all the bells and whistles, this intriguing guide to all those everyday phrases really is the bees knees for anyone with a love of the English language.Let’s cut to the chase: clichés are a familiar part of the English language, but to be honest, many have been so over-used that they have become trite, meaningless and rather irritating. With this informative and humorous book, you are in a safe pair of hands as you learn about the origins and meanings of some of the most hackneyed phrases still used today.Avoid Them Like the Plague will keep you up to speed with clichés in their many forms – once useful but now overworked catchphrases (‘move the goal posts’), worn-out sayings (‘all hands on deck’), pointless phrases used to conceal a weak argument (‘to be perfectly honest’), technical terms used out of context (‘collateral damage’) and many others. This fun and witty book aims to expose the self-importance or laziness that frequently lie behind the worst examples of these phrases and sheds light on why it’s best to avoid them.Employing a combination of erudition, humour and occasional derision, Avoid Them Like the Plague thinks outside the box and really is the best thing since sliced bread for anyone who values good English and clear communication.
