Interesting Origins of Idioms

Did you know that the phrase 'flavour of the month' originated from a marketing campaign in American ice-cream parlours during the 1940s? It was used to promote a specific flavour for a month. Another example is 'off the cuff', which refers to the messy practice of jotting down impromptu notes on one’s shirt cuff before public speaking.
