- Summary:
- America's Secret Slang proves that we speak history every day as it documents the stories behind our unique American version of English, from words like "southpaw" to phrases like "bet your bottom dollar". The American South has given us words like "y'all" and "rednecks" as well as dozens of colorful phrases like "fly off the handle", "having an axe to grind", and "barking up the wrong tree."
