| Abstract: | Weapons may have evolved from the primitive axe made of chipped stone to the more ‘sophisticated’ means of mass-destruction, but they have undeniably accompanied humankind all through its history, just like the wars that have been fought with them. Most of these weapons are no longer in every-day use, but they have been preserved and kept alive in that colourful keepsake album of language: idioms. |
