The English language is packed with strange expressions we use every day—but have you ever wondered where they come from?
From “buttering someone up” to “burning the candle at both ends,” idioms are woven into our conversations… yet we rarely pause to think about what they really mean or where they originated.
This fun and fascinating collection reveals the quirky stories behind the phrases we take for granted. Discover where (and when) these idioms first appeared, how they evolved, and what they really meant in their original context.
Grouped by theme, this book is perfect for curious minds and language lovers alike. You’ll uncover:
•The competition where the prize was literally cake
•The truth behind bulls in China shops
•Why “saved by the bell” has nothing to do with boxing
•How Shakespeare helped shape the way we speak
•And… what llamas have to do with any of this
Whether you’re looking to impress at parties, sharpen your trivia skills, or simply enjoy a clever and quirky listen, Straight from the Llama’s Mouth is your perfect companion.
