Try a cliche

When trying a cliché we all need to first know what a cliché is and how to use it in the correct way. A cliché is a sentence or phrase usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea that has lost originality, ingenuity and impact by long overuse.

I did a bit of surfing . . . surfing the web that is . . . and stumbled upon a website http://cliché-a-day.bolgspot.com/ and found different clichés and its meaning, examples and the clichés rephrased.

From that website, these were the common clichés and there meaning (the following clichés are directly from the website):

·         It takes two to tango, which means conflict or other relations that requires two

·         It isn’t rocket science, which means it isn’t so advanced

·         Its no use crying over spilled milk, don’t sweat the little things you can’t change

·         In your dreams, a challenge of disbelief

·         In the nick of time, just in time

On that particular website there are many other examples but try a cliché like the blogs name suggests “cliché a day”.
