While teaching foreign students at an Alberta college,
Wayne Magnuson discovered that he lacked a good
dictionary of idiomatic English. So he compiled one. With more than
5000 entries, each with a simple definition and a clear example of
typical usage, English Idioms, Sayings &
Slang is an excellent primer for English learners.
It's also a great reference for native speakers who want to be sure
what colourful expressions like "going bananas" really mean.
