Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A catchphrase is a set of words that have come to be associated, over time and through repeated usage, with a particular individual or group, or maybe an event. From "Can I do you now, sir?" and "Thunderbirds are GO" to "Eat my shorts!", "Who loves ya, baby" and "Booyakasha!", this book gives the history of a selection of our best-loved catchphrases, paying homage to the human nature of adopting a common bond through language. The volume includes coverage of both UK and US catchphrases, from a wide variety of media. Entries are often backed up by citations of usage and give interesting information on their origins. A source index enables readers to look up entries from one particular source, while a source information section gives a background description of shows, films, or books that are cited three or more times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR002200079
