Yesterday I used the phrase "pleased as punch," and then I lay awake wondering if Punch shouldn't be capitalized. This morning, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable answered my question: Yes. This is, by the way, one of the world's best browsing dictionaries. If that's not enough to convince you, know that Neil Gaiman Himself is a devotee.

IndyHannaJones OMG THIS HAS OPENED MY EYES TO SO MANY THINGS!!!! 9y

EliseWhitmore I often lie awake wondering where certain phrases come from. This will change my life! And probably annoy my co-workers 😁 9y

SaraFair Must have and I think would be a good gift ! 9y

Zakia The Brewer dictionary is amazing. It literally changed my life! 9y

SusanInTiburon @SaraFair That's a great idea. I gave copies of The Assassin's Cloak for Father's Day - anthology of diaries - cuz I love browsing it myself.

SusanInTiburon @Zakia I'd love to hear that story! 😉 9y

Wonderful browsing dictionary; a gem on every page. Perfect for bedside, bathside, or commercial breaks during tense playoff games. Ex.: "battle royal" originates from cockfighting, where birds are "pitted together and left to fight until there is one survivor, the victor of the battle royal."

Megabooks Sounds so neat! May have to add this to the permanent collection. 9y
