Expressions 3: The Meaning Behind the Madness

By Seth Blanken

Language has a habit of saying a lot without making literal sense.
We toss around phrases like "kick the can down the road" or "jump the shark" as if they're perfectly logical, even when they clearly aren't. Still, they stick because behind the odd wording is something sharper: a shared understanding shaped by time, culture, and a bit of creativity.
Expressions 3: The Meaning Behind the Madness takes a closer look at these phrases, unpacking where they came from and why they continue to resonate. Beneath the surface, there's often a story, sometimes practical, sometimes humorous, sometimes unexpectedly insightful.
This book isn't just about definitions. It's about the way language evolves, how ideas are packaged into memorable lines, and why the strangest expressions are often the hardest to forget.
Because what sounds like nonsense is usually anything but.
