Almost every family has them: sayings that are a kind of private language and which, in many cases, continue in use across the generations. These family sayings are unique and are often impenetratable to outsiders. In this book Nigel Rees provides a shamelessly nostalgic and warmly humorous record of an area of language that would otherwise go largely unrecorded. It is a book that proves once again that there is nothing quite so entertaining as the folklore of everyday life and the language we use to express it.
