[pleonasm can be fun!]
research for my own modest word page has led me to discover (1) all of the good word sites in the known English-speaking universe [hyperbole] and (2) several useful tricks for taming the available search engines.
for instance, try this at http://google.com
enter the following search string as shown:
grandmother "suck eggs"
and there, right at the top, you should see the hit for Quinion, with whom I was already quite familiar and on which I leaped forthwith. this stuff really ain't rocket science!
