Try a cliche...

We all know the phrase: 'Oh, that's so cliche', but if we're honest with ourselves, we all use cliche's from time to time, if not every day. A cliche can be described as a stereotypical expression or sentence/ phrase, which usually expresses a popular/ common thought or idea, and which has lost its originality, ingenuity and impact by long overuse. So now that we all have an understanding of what a cliche is, here are a couple of cliche's which we often use:

• Absence makes the heart grow fonder
• The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree
• Actions speak louder than words
• All's fair in love and war
• An apple a day keeps the doctor away
• Another day another dollar
• Baby blues
• Barking up the wrong tree
• Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
• Get your ducks in a row
• Go figure
• To make or break
• Thick as a brick
• Take a breather
• Money can't buy you happiness

And my all-time favourite at this moment in time: "MY BRAIN IS FRIED" #smed11 :)

To me, a cliche may seem cliche, but it also creates a sense of understanding among us human beings. Sometimes a cliche helps us say what we want to say without mumbelling on with too many words. A cliche is short and sweet, so I say, 'why not try a cliche?' :)
