Stun your friends into silence as you take the humble proverb and transform it into a display of linguistic acrobatics. Why use just one word when ten will do? If you want to sound as though you've swallowed a dictionary, here are 100 simple proverbs and their verbose translations for you to memorize and recite at dinner parties and other social gatherings. Instead of saying "Never look a gift horse in the mouth," go for "Never perform an oscular examination on a gratuitous solid-hoofed plant-eating quadruped. ". This 2002 Prion Paperback is in very good condition. ISBN: 9781853754869 SKU: 1572231 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book. Show more
