Cover of Betty Kirkpatrick: Annoying English Cliches (ePUB)

This is a compilation of the most annoying English cliches around today; those expressions that you hear time and time again and that make you cringe with irritation when you do hear them, but which – even more annoyingly! – you find yourself using out of sheer habit.

Examples featured include: by and large, to be honest, a categorical denial, courtesy call, these things happen, kill two birds with one stone, it’s not the end of the world… and many more.
