Did you know that Chicago is called "The Windy City" because of the bloviating habits of its politicians, and not the breeze off the lake? How about the expression, "the whole nine yards"—does it come from the length of a WWII gunner's belt, the amount of fabric needed to make a kilt, or a sarcastic football expression? Find the answers to these titillating questions in the Words Bundle, a special, three-volume set for word lovers only offered here through the Spring Sale.
