[Lexicog] Phrasefinder

[Rudolph Troike]

Every once in a while we get an inquiry on this list about the meaning of
some phrase or idiom, which engenders a particularistic reply (or multiple
replies). I have been impressed with the judicious and historically
interesting work of Gary Martin, whose Phrasefinder online source is very
impressive. Unless others have other opinions about this source, I'd like
to suggest that we simply routinely refer basic inquiries to this site:
