A Christmas present I received in 2024, this collection of idioms, proverbs and general nonsense is perfect for the friend who likes to quote foreign sayings or gets their knowledge from QI. From ways to insult someone to foreign names for vegetables, Adam cannot resist throwing in his own puns and devilish phrases. It kept me chuckling while I read it, and kept my family groaning when I read bits out to them.

On with the butter, as they say in Icelandic!
