Cliches (or, I have half a mind to make this a game)

Not much to this one…just try to incorporate a cliche in every post.

That’s the name of the game. I’m not talking through my hat, so don’t call me all wet. If you’ll just sit tight, you’ll see I’m not talking about apples and oranges. But I can hope against hope that this topic be interesting. If it is, pinch me to see if I’m dreaming.

Now go.

Time is of the essence. I’m just sayin. You only live once.

Make up some more games, you don’t want to put all your eggs in one basket.

So far, this thread is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I’m so tickled pink, you could knock me over with a feather. At least, it’s making me laugh to beat the band.

In for a penny, in for a pound of flesh…but we’ll burn that water under bridge when we come to it.

I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth about this game.

I used to use cliches left, right and centre, but I took the bull by the horns and now I avoid them like the plague.

Well, looks like this thread has kicked the bucket. It’s deader than a doornail, all right. Yes sir, turn out the lights, the party’s over- this thread’s bought the farm.

Yup, sunk like a stone.

The people in this thread need to get off my lawn!

Yes, you’re kind of long in the tooth, ETV78. You’re as old as the hills.

I played a game like this this once. In 1960. For 20 minutes.

I mean, I would play, but my skill at this kind of game is nothing to write home about.

Really?

Seriously?

At the end of the day, it is what it is.

I don’t get it; I’m a little in the dark here. I mean, are we talking about cliches or idioms? So far it seems about six of one and half dozen of the other (not counting the OP).

Can someone give me the skinny on this so I can enjoy this thread going forward?

Well, if you overuse an idiom enough, it becomes a cliche…so whatever floats your boat…

Don’t make me lock this thread!

What this thread needs is a theme song!

Cite?

Really!?

Oh wait. Been there, done that.

I think we’re all giving 110% to keep this thread alive now.
