“Roll Vanka”, “goal like a falcon”, “upside down”, “knock Vanka off the hook”... Who doesn’t know these expressions! We are taught them from childhood, we hear them from our grandparents, and at school we learn how to write these expressions. And we all know, for example, that “to kick the bucket” means “to do nothing,” and “to write on water with a pitchfork” means “unlikely.” But do we know where these familiar expressions come from? Why are the thumbs up? And where do we have these very upside-downs? In your hands is a book that will reveal to you the secret life of these words - in the form of an exciting game for the whole family!
