November 3. And it’s Cliche Day. Cliches are overused common expressions, that some argue often lose their original intended message. Some people even call them “trite.” Oftentimes we use them and don’t even think about it. And many cliches are idioms-which have hidden meanings. They are not meant to be taken literally- but sure can be confusing for people who don’t know the language. For example when you say someone has a chip on his shoulder, you’re not really talking about chips.
Here are a few common cliches, and my own version:
You can’t judge a book by its cover. My version: You can’t judge a poodle by it’s weird hairdo.
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. My version: It is better to have tried countersurfing and failed than never to have tried at all.
Money is the root of all evil. My version: Grooming tools are the root of all evil.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. My version: Dogs are a girl’s best friend.
And here are some photos and cliches:
Hope they gave you a chuckle! I think cliches are the best thing since sliced bread! Sorry- I couldn’t resist.
Have a good one. Peace and paws up.
