I'm Not Hanging Noodles on Your Ears and Other Intriguing Idioms from Around the World

This book is just plain fun! If you love language as I do, you'll find it very enjoyable. As a native English speaker who has studied Latin, French, and Spanish, seeing how (literally) foreign cultures express themselves in metaphor and idiom is fascinating. If non-English speakers find our English idioms as strange as I/we find theirs, no wonder English is so difficult to master. Highly recommended!

What a fun book! Some of the expressions really crack me up and I have memorized a few to drop on people.

This is a great little book that allows the reader to peak into other cultures and learn about their idiomatic expressions. This is not a foreign language phrase book, as all of the phrases have been translated into English. It's a quick and delightful read.

I found this book very interesting and entertaining. The only thing that would have made it better, was if he had used all the entries in a typical sentence to aid in understanding usage.

I just got the book today, to give it as a gift. As I started to scan through it I found myself smiling and then laughing out aloud. Then I found myself talking aloud arguing with the book. I am usually a pretty stable sort, but this is a very well written book and presented in a nice engaging manner that literally pulls you in. I am enjoying this tremendously and have ordered a second copy for myself (this one is a gift and I will have to part with it). To quote the book, this can "make the chickens laugh".
