    About this ebook

    People love guessing catchphrases, like the hit TV show. This book is full of them, probably containing every catchphrase/idiom ever written!

    Plus they almost all have definitions too, so if you don't know what the following examples mean, or how they came to be in the English language, then you'll find the answer in this book...

    The early bird catches the worm.
    A bag of wind
    One man's trash is another man's treasure.
    A stitch in time saves nine
    He who is everywhere is nowhere.
    A bed of roses
    Born with a silver spoon in the mouth
    Green with envy
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
    A watched pot never boils
    Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
    Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork.
