Try a Cliche

Wikipedia describes a cliché or cliche as an expression, 
idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused 
to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, 
rendering it a stereotype, especially when at some earlier
time it was considered meaningful or novel. The term is 
frequently used in modern culture for an action or idea which 
is expected or predictable, based on a prior event.

In other words it is an unoriginal string of words 
used to get a point across when words fail us. 
We are all guilty of using these. It becomes part of 
our every day usage. Many of us are not even 
aware that we are making use of clichés, 
in our use of the English language.

Old habits die hard, and therefore I think it will be 
impossible to completely remove them from 
our vocabulary. However, we can try and put 
a sin to the use of cliché’s.

Let’s be different and try to “change-it-up” a little.
 Let us try to make our cliché’s original. 
Sounds like an Oxymoron, I know. 
But let’s just think about it. . .

Instead of saying same horse, different colour, l
et’s say same shoe different sock; thereby making 
the cliché original in a way without losing the
 meaning behind it.
