A world of wisdom

fun and unusual phrases from around the globe

"You might say that an annoying person is called 'a bad apple', but Venezuelans would call them 'a pineapple under the arm'. On a wet day, you might think 'it's raining cats and dogs', but the rest of the world has some different ideas on what's falling from the sky. This book looks at the unique ways different languages express common ideas like 'too many cooks spoil the broth' and getting stuck 'between a rock and a hard place', as well as unique sayings about cats, beards, dancing, and much, much more"--Back cover.
