From mad as a wet hen to corn dodger and hobgoblin, Charles Funks collections of curious words and expressions are a treasure trove of word origin.If youve ever wondered why the candy is called butterscotch; why a certain Southern food is called a hushpuppy; why log supports in a fireplace are known as andirons, or, sometimes, firedogs; youll be fascinated by the origins of the over 600 words discussed in a book that gets curiouser and curiouser as it goes along(San Francisco Chronicle).
