Metaphoresis: Do We Know What We are Talking About?

From the blurb on the back cover:
"The author has used a unique method. He has examined the popular metaphors of today's language as a doctor would examine a man's urine. The result is this disturbing question: Do we really know what we are talking about?"

But it's so much worse than that sounds.

"In a fascinating dialogue, the cynic leads Protagoras and the chorus of ducks through the maze of evidence that has destroyed his peace of mind, meanwhile calling on the legendary Greek to refute his argument."

. . . I think Aristophanes did it better.

Worse than "Sodomy and the pirate tradition"?

Well, I think I know what I'm talking about, but my question remains: does the author?
