Review: Solely about origins of words and phrases - Beautiful looking book… it’s just, it’s not at all what I expected. Random Oddities, I imagined it to be about weird and wonderful stories from around the world. Instead, it’s about the origins of words and phrases!? Confused and disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trivia answer with explanations
*by J***H on 9 March 2026*

I love this book. Actually the series. I have four different titles and 2 more on the way. They are all hard bound, nicely decorated, about 200 pages (guessing) and look presentable on a book shelf. All are the same size. This is a great gift as well. IDK how many I have gifted but it's substantial. I best describe it as a trivia Pursuit answers with explanations, The multitude of topics usually are explained in 2 or 3 paragraphs. It short enough to keep one interested. My 1st book, I probably read about 60 pages in the first sitting without realizing it because it was short but interesting. I'm not a big reader, but I've gone through these pretty quick. Very enjoyable & affordable.
