  Have you ever wondered why we go Dutch , hog the show , keep our cool or kick the bucket ? Perhaps you've pondered on who originally let the cat out of the bag , made his mark , looked a gift horse in the mouth or had a gut feeling . If such phrases have you tickled pink - or even seeing red - you can find out in this book how and when nearly 2000 of them came into use and what they originally meant.
