Summary	This book offers the most thorough treatment yet published of those trite but apt sayings we use all the time but rarely stop to consider. And, as the author explains in his introduction, once you have a sense of where these sayings come from, you can use them for "summing up a point or situation, easing a transition in thought, or adding a seasoning of humor to a discourse" with flair.
