Finished Why You Say It by Webb Garrison. I received this book from Thomas Nelson, in exchange for a review.
This book explains why certain words and phrases are used the way they are. I was very excited to get it because I love knowing things like that.
It's a little disappointing because I felt like some of the words here aren't really in the common vernacular anymore (who says "high muckety-muck", for example) but it's still a very good resource.
And it's full of little tidbits that I can annoy people with.
For instance, did you know Charles M. Schulz was the guy who first used security blanket? And isn't that perfect, given that Linus is the perfect example of someone who has one?
