This little book is the paperback version of the second edition of The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms published in 2004. This A1 (excellent; first‐rate; origin: Lloyd's Register of Shipping) work takes us not just from A to B, but from A to Z. Do not be taken aback or get the abdabs, it is as easy as ABC. This book is the acceptable face of reference publishing. Have an ace up your sleeve, give a good account of yourself, know what you are about and rest in Abraham's bosom!

A total of 5,000 or more idioms are here arranged alphabetically...
