When A Loose Cannon Flogs A Dead Horse is a collection of bona fide nautical metaphors and colloquialisms now in common usage in the English language. Thought-provoking, entertaining examples of these words are drawn from literature, poetry, movies, song, and television - from Shakespeare to Jane Austen to P.G. Wodehouse. This is no "hodgepodge" of nautical terms, it's "chock full" of seaworthy lore. So, "batten down the hatches" and prepare for a "first rate" read.
