I've been struggling over this for a couple of days, and then it occurs to
me that you guys might have good information.
I'm looking for a decent slang/idiom dictionary that gives the etymology of
unusual and slang words and phrases. I've found one so far in a local
bookstore -- it gives the meaning, but not where the phrase or term comes
from, which is what I'm after here.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Signed,
Desperate.
