Once in a Blue Moon: Clichés
Phrases are like furniture: they start out new and wonderful, but over time they become tired and worn. Today’s clichés are yesterday’s best phrases, metaphors, and similes; that’s why they’ve been overused. But it’s time for them to go. Often clichés come from old sayings that don’t even make sense to modern readers if they stop to think. Why would you touch something with a ten-foot pole in the first place? Does anyone throw out the bathwater anymore? Come up with a new and wonderful metaphor or simile of your own. If you’re lucky, it will be so brilliant it will become the next generation’s cliché.
