Entertaining yet informative, this book captures the quirkiness of languages and phrases from around the world and translates them into a fun format and great gift. In Russia, for instance, `to put a pig under someone` means to play a dirty trick. In France, `to have a well hung tongue` means to be eloquent. If someone in Germany tells you that you`re living your life `like a maggot in bacon`, it means you`re living the life of Riley. The broad selection of idioms provides a quirky look at different cultures and how they perceive the world in a light-hearted, fun manner.
