I'm a multi-decade fan of idiomatic English, English usage, figures of speech, clichés, and their derivations. This is the author's allegedly "Final Edition", in which he combines his previous 2 versions with new entries. I won't attest to the comparable quantites of entries, nor the amount of repetitive coverage, versus the AHDI book. However, so far, my limited comparisons have favored the tendency for larger, broader descriptions per entry in this St. Clair book, although with seemingly fewer entries than the AHDI. I preferred this book's treatment of "Rule of Thumb" to the AHDI's entry; however, this book had no entry for "In your face", which the AHDI book includes. Nevertheless, the different approaches combine to increase information about the entries that both contain. This is a handy, informative addition to my books on English Usage. I'll reach for it often. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Origins of Cliches, Proverbs, and Figurative Expressions *by N***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2013* To use one of his many idioms, I have a `bone to pick' with Stan St Clair because ever since I received a copy of his book (or should that be a tome because it runs to over 700 pages) I have spent all my time devouring the many clichés, proverbs and figurative expressions which it contains.It is truly a comprehensive work and, although not a novel, it is just as compelling as any thriller because, apart from looking for one's favourite expressions (in the forlorn hope that Stan may have missed one out) there are thousands of quotations which serve to underscore the richness of the English language and to explain how it has evolved and changed over the centuries..If you decide to buy the "Origins of Cliches, Proverbs and Figurative Expressions" you will never regret that decision because it will give you another bible (in the original sense of that word) in your home - a bible which will enrich your understanding of a language which has now become the diplomatic lingua franca in every country in the World.This is a book which deserves to be in every home. It is a unique reference work. It now has pride of place in my library. I hope it will soon be in yours.Niven Sinclair --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/7354385-most-comprehensive-origins-of-cliches-proverbs-and-figurative-expressions](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/7354385-most-comprehensive-origins-of-cliches-proverbs-and-figurative-expressions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
