Something that really makes my blood boil and rubs me up the wrong way is when people are so lazy that they use cliche's all the time. So unoriginal.
We should live and learn to use better ways of expressing ourselves, but we all know that this its easier said than done. Have i hit the nail on the head yet?
We are taught that using cliches are bad and makes a story oh so boring, but have you ever actually tried using a cliche. Meaning, actually doing what the cliche says.
Example: An apple a day keeps the Doctor away. Now you might not actually need to eat the apple everyday, but rather eat heatlhy and take care of your body.
Many cliches actually make sense, but we don't really take note of this becuase they are so overused.
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Try a cliche!!
Just remember Rome wasn't built in a day....annoyed yet????
:-)
Here's another one that irks me endlessly:"You know what I mean?"
ReplyDeleteUsed excessively, particularly on Reality TV shows. In most cases the listener does not even bother to respond, yet every other sentence is laced with the afore-mentioned cliche!
It is annoying.
