- 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". Americans have always loved to eat and expressions relating to food--from New York's "big apple" to "wake up and smell the coffee" -- pepper our everyday speech. But where did they all come from?
