REF: GEN: flea market?

["Jane T. Hohn" <jhohn@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

Dear LM_NET Wisdom,

        Someone wants to know the origin of the term, "flea
market," and I would like to know the title of a good source
for various expressions.  I've already looked in _A Hog on Ice
and other Curious Expressions_.
