Publisher's Synopsis
Ever wonder why we 'toe the line' or why we are anything but 'cool as a cucumber' when we're getting ready to 'tie the knot?' If so, grab a 'cocktail' and join authors Cos Ferrara and Ed Wilczynski as they look behind 53 of these curious expressions and provide a brief, playful explanation of their origins in Rule of Thumb. Amusing illustrations by Sarah Macy enliven each week. There is ample room to note special events and appointments each week, as well as the current and next months at a glance.
