Probably. IIRC we had a whole thread (or section of thread) on tired Doper clichés recently. Hmmm.
After some searching … the original innocent comment that triggers the cliché mini-debate is here:
and the back and forth about overused clichés lasted from there (post 1899) to post 1941 with just a couple off-topic (off-hijack actually) interjections.
And yes, “cow-orker” took some abuse along the way.
