Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable - sometimes referred to simply as Brewer's - is a reference work containing definitions and explanations of many famous phrases, allusions and figures, whether historical or mythical.

Originally published in 1870 by the Reverend E. Cobham Brewer, it was aimed at the growing number of people who did not have a university education, but wanted to understand the origins of phrases and historical or literary allusions. The 'phrase' part of the title refers mainly to the explanation of various idioms and proverbs, while the 'fable' part might more accurately be labelled 'folklore' and ranges from classical mythology to relatively recent literature. On top of this, Brewer added notes on important historical figures and events, and other things which he thought would be of interest, such as Roman numerals.

Some entries seem so trivial as to be hardly worth including, and others are almost definitely apocryphal.

Ammer, Christine
The Facts on File Dictionary of Cliches
Meanings and Origins of Thousands of Terms and Expressions

From Booklist
Christine Ammer acknowledges in the preface to this second edition of her dictionary of cliches that it may seem oxymoronic for her to speak of updating a dictionary of cliches by adding new cliches. But of course every cliche is new at some blurry point along a time line, just as others gradually fall out of favor. Thus, as a linguist whose concern is current usage, Ammer has not only added new ones (new in the sense of having recently become established as cliches) but she has culled and discarded many older cliches - such as "alas and alack" and "blot one's copybook" - that appeared in the first edition but that are rarely seen or heard nowadays.

Synopsis
This updated and expanded edition of a popular title explains the meanings and origins of almost 4,000 cliches and common expressions. Each entry in "The Facts On File Dictionary of Cliches, Second Edition" includes the meaning of the cliche or expression, its origin and early uses, the historical development of the phrase, and its present-day usage. For this second edition, the author has added hundreds of new cliches, including many from the business world, such as "drum up," "fork over," and "go belly-up"; from the military, such as "the balloon goes up," "body count," and "mickey mouse"; and from popular novels, especially mysteries and thrillers. Other new cliches include "bells and whistles," "yada yada yada," and "whatever." "The Facts On File Dictionary of Cliches, Second Edition" is the largest, most comprehensive, and most entertaining reference of its kind. Fully indexed and cross-referenced, this essential resource will prove invaluable for students, writers, and general readers.

Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit
And Other Country Sayings, Say-SOS, Hoots, and Hollers

Kurzbeschreibung
They're called colloquialisms, idioms, of just good old fashioned, home-grown country sayings steeped in humor and home-spun common sense. These parlances might not fit the modern hoity toity rhetoric you're used to seeing in print or hearing on TV, and that's exactly why they're more refreshing than an ice cube in July. In Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit, Author Allan Zullo offers up more than 200 vernacular verses presented in themes, such as:

• Admitting You're Wrong - The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm, 'cause the colder it gets the harder it is to swallow.
• Congress - Gettin' a politician to do somethin' good for our country is like tryin' to poke a cat out from under the porch with a rope.
• Ego - Some people are so full of themselves, you'd like to buy 'em for what they're worth and sell 'em for what they think they're worth.
• Teenage Boys - You kinda wish they used their heads for somethin' besides hat racks.
• Revenge - Two wrongs don't make a right, but they sure do make it even.
• Surprises - Sometimes you get so surprised by life there ain't nothin' else to say but, 'Butter my butt and call me a biscuit.'"
