About 500 entries, less than half phrases I've heard of. Some are mildly interesting, but I think that the internet has replaced this "dictionary".

interesting to know how words formed; where it was originated; The original meaning and why; just fascinating to read and learn what's on this book.

Sooooooo, Mine, mine, mine --- all mine! NO re-post. Four Star for me.
