Who else hates cliches?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, as in military inspection (probably by Colonel Mustard ).


Or 'kernel mustard' such as when Jesus spoke of having faith 'even as a grain of mustard seed'.

or wearing a 'mustard stash', which is when one keeps spare snacks hidden in one's facial hair (as worn by Mean Mr Mustard, who sleeps in the park and shaves in the dark, tryin' to save paper)...and frequently passes mustard to the dismay of strolling sweethearts...

There's nothing in this world I hate more than cliches. It's usually said with a dismissive intention too, so that gets me even more heated. Every time someone pulls that crap on me, I just wanna smack the s**t out of em with brass knuckles.

I hate cliches.

I use clichés no more or no less than anyone else, but that's because they have filtered our language. I hate them. George Orwell wrote that clichés lead us to thinking in packaged phrases, and not in words, and I agree with him. I can't say I avoid clichés altogether, but I try to write sentences word-by-word.

I hate the cliche: "Life is short" and I heard a line in a song by M.Ward the other day that said it better for me: "If life is as short as they say, than why is the night so long?"

Big Old Goofy World - John Prine

Up in the morning
Work like a dog
Is better than sitting
Like a bump on a log
Mind all your manners
Be quiet as a mouse
Some day you'll own a home
That's as big as a house

I know a fella
He eats like a horse
Knocks his old balls
Round the old golf course
You oughta see his wife
She's a cute little dish
She smokes like a chimney
And drinks like a fish

There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby
It's a big old goofy world

Now Elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock
I wished I had a woman
That made my knees knock
She'd sing like an angel
And eat like a bird
And if I wrote a song
She'd know ever single word

Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
If you take an inch
Give 'em back a mile
Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna be
As happy as a clam

So I'm sitting in a hotel
Trying to write a song
My head is just as empty
As the day is long
Why it's clear as a bell
I should have gone to school
I'd be wise as an owl
Stead of stubborn as a mule.

[ More Prine John Lyrics ]

Ok I missed a few, but I have decliched most of the
cliches presented by sinsboldly

This phenomenon is how the rubber sphere careens

Deplete the financial institution of all its funds

He is in debt of a small amount of deep fried
string potatos of an insufficient amount to
complete the McDonald's order "Happy Meal"

Enter in a manner similar to an Earthen annelid.

Elevated stone prison

Equalibrium of energy

Feline pedal extremity

?"open question" no such file or directory not in database

Upbringing standards equal to a street dwelling feline.

"run to earth" not in database

Contained within an elongated sprint

Until the female bovines return to their primary residence

I cannot cohabitate along side of human females

Having equal funds to that of a rodent whose residence is a place of worship.

Pastry and fermented barley beverage.

Negative sport for equines.

He is equal to a piece of written literature that is laying face up with pages exposed.

Descended to the place where random objects and rubbish is deposited

Engage in misinformation in a blank manner.

Exclusively in the United States.

Converse it skyward

100% chance of not seeing 180 degrees from your present orientation

A human dentally attacked a canine in a violent malicious or self defencive manner.

It is necessary to overload our output by 10%

An honest quick random vibration.

"rank and file" not in database

Rotate to the opposing facial surface.

Long distorted running body of water.

An issue of continuing to exist or ceasing to live.

Deliver it to me with a tined eating utensil

Place your jaws firmly together

Place a large amount of burning materials to the crown of his cranium

The first level

Between small rodents and humans

shutting down the place of purchase

creasing their camping cloth living enclosures

secure and audio

Allow me to slightly distort your pinna

Descend next to the edge of the motorway

One's aural receiving organs are in the vicinity
of h2o

Less than the diameter that is 1/3 of the diameter
of protein filament that grows through the epidermis from follicles deep within the dermis of an amphibian.

An attractive, cubical enclosure with knotted decorations
about it, that contains nothing.

Orient yourself 0 degrees forward to the direction of the audio emanations.

Insanity equal to that of a Cimex lectularius

He would donate his article of clothing that covers his torso.

It will be removed when it is cleaned with soap and water.

Excise it

Strike sharply to cause disconnection of dark stains.

Donate a sharp tree cutting tool to him.

Exclusively driving to the side at a moderate speed.

Behaved in an exact manner of a jester employed by a traveling entertainment
service.

Slowly apply backward force to the long cable.

The temperature would plummet rapidly in Hades.

That is a admission receipt paper to enable him to escape.

Be alive and gather information.

"in the groves of Academe" not in database

Is it your perception that I am constructed of currency?

Decorated lumber

The amount of wood "chucked" by a marmot is currently unknown.

In equal durability of construction fasteners.

Construct a spectacle

Sugar confection atop the pastry.

Place outside where temperatures are very low.

Contained within the refraction of light off of one's cornea.

A pomaceous fruit is not separated a great distance from
perennial woody plant.

The specialized bodily fluid is of greater viscosity than h2o

What is attractive will make someone happy for the rest
of their lives.

Contained within his drinking vessels.

Walk erect

The time has arrived when one makes creases in cloth.

I ask what person has put agape the series of pipes
and fences which prevents bovines from crossing?

Causes your buccal cavity to salivate.

Large curd.

Malfunctioning arrangement in one 24 hour period, of protein filament that grows through the epidermis from follicles

100% of the brewed leaf beverage of a large part of Asia.

he is at one end of a rope.

when it precipitates, water descends.

Of deficient amount of years in age to be the direct female
descendant.

Maintain hopes that are elevated to a point in the atmosphere
greater than 400 metres.

Correct information is of greater abnormalcy than imagination.

A clothing cloth pouch is filled to capacity with impossible guarantees.

Completion of a task is equal to that of a distance travelled not
where it ends up when it is complete.

The entirety of it contained in one session of labour per day.

Allow it to become literature, allow it to be completed.

A coin bag constructed from the spinneret proteins of silkworms
constructed from the dried pinna of a female swine.

Humourous currency

Donate a marine animal to a human and he will receive sustainence
for 24 hours, programme him with information on how to
capture a marine animal and he will consume food for the
remainder of the time that he remains alive.

Canines of an evil underworld.

Utilise your cranium.

Placed in a muted telephonic condition

Construct automotive tyre pathways.

Said subject exceeds the desirability of an occular
injury with a branch altered to a very narrow point
at its termination.

Dermis and a specialised bodily fluid containing
plasma and hemoglobin.

Receive a respiration.

A malfunction that is standing by to occur.

Place oneself past the apex of a large obstruction.

Currency is unable to purchase human affection.

Become familiar with the twisted hemp bindings.

He isn't in a contorted position.

I will demonstrate to him/her how the female bovine consumes
monocotyledenous maize germination pod.

Happiness equivalent to a swine engulfed in very wet soil.

An excess of metallic stamps in a rapid oxidation of a combustible material.

In the apex of 2 humans standing on either side of
a tall light supporting structure.

To make a call of the canine up the incorrect arboreal growth.

Physical contact of a firearm. (ok play on words)

Equal density to metallic carpentry fasteners.

Whew. That was alot.

I'm a ham radio operator, or amateur radio operator,
so I can often be heard masticating the adipose tissue.

Can you guess what I am decliching here?

COOL! I love decliching cliches.
