FIFTEEN THOUSAND USEFUL PHRASES ***
Produced by Don Kostuch
[Transcriber's Notes] Original "misspellings" such as "fulness" are unchanged.
Unfamiliar (to me) words are defined on the right side of the page in square brackets. For example:
abstemious diet [abstemious = Eating and drinking in moderation.]
The blandness of contemporary (2006) speech would be relieved by the injection of some of these gems:
"phraseological quagmire"
"Windy speech which hits all around the mark like a drunken carpenter."
