Event Details

Have you ever wondered about the origin of the crazy words and phrases we use? From “breaking the ice” to “a wild goose chase,” these seemingly illogical expressions fill our everyday language without a second thought. An educator from the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts will explore the strange and varied origins of a range of English language idioms and sayings in this virtual program. Registration is required. This zoom will not be recorded.
