Take a sneak peek at examples found in the dictionary:

<ul>
 <li>Let the cat out of the bag: Reveal a secret. For example, "Mom let the cat out of the bag and told us Karen was engaged." This expression stems from a dishonest practice where a merchant substituted a worthless cat for a valuable pig, only discovered when the buyer reached home and opened the bag. (Mid-1700s)</li>
 <li>Silver lining: An element of hope or redeeming quality in an otherwise unfavorable situation. For instance, "The rally had a disappointing turnout, but the silver lining was that those who came pledged a great deal of money." This metaphorical term is derived from "Every cloud has a silver lining," originating from John Milton's Comus (1634): "A sable cloud turns forth its silver lining on the night."</li>
 <li>A picture is worth a thousand words: A graphic illustration conveys a stronger message than words alone. For example, "The book jacket is a big selling point—one picture is worth a thousand words." This saying was coined by an advertising executive named Fred R. Barnard. In 1921, he placed an ad in Printer's Ink with the headline "One Look Is Worth a Thousand Words," originally attributing it to an ancient Japanese philosopher. Six years later, he altered it to "Chinese Proverb: One Picture Is Worth Ten Thousand Words," accompanied by Chinese characters. The attribution was fabricated to add credibility to the phrase.</li>
