It occurs to me that not only did I write a book about some of the dumb things we say, I've also read a quite a few books about the things we say (dumb or not).
I've really enjoyed Why Do We Say It? about expressions, colloquial and otherwise. I have to admit, though, I didn't gain much from reading Le Mot Juste.
It's a particular failing of mine; I just don't do French. #lesigh
If you just can't get enough of the stories behind the words, I bet you'll like the Fun with Words site. It's not much in the way of eye candy, but if you're that into words, you probably don't care.
