One Big Cup o' Cliches

One Big Cup o' Cliches


The rules are as easy as pie:
  • take a cliche and change it into an original phrase or statementlist]
  • yes you actually have to think in a forum game oh dear

    A cliche is an overused phrase that has lost its originality the repetition. Ex:
    • its raining cats and dogs
    • Dont worry, be happy
    • A rolling stone gathers no moss

    So basically you are picking a cliche and changing it into something original. Ex:
    • Its raining cats and dogs - Tractors swept across the newly formed urban lake (not a very good example but still)

    The idea is to try and not use synonyms. Ex:
    • Dont Worry, be happy - Try not to fret, instead be joyous
    Its pretty much the same thing just with different words. Avoid this.

    Every rose has its thorn
    • One cliche per post
    • This isnt WOYM no useless bantering and chatting. Contribute.
    • Dont be a general idiot or funny guy because its annoying. I dont care if this is forum games or recroom.
    • Im not asking for perfection here, dont be afraid to post. Just dont be dumb for the sake of being dumb.
    • if you need a cliche you can go here
 
The idea is to take a cliche and just change it into an original phrase. Cliches are overused in much of writing and many detest this idea of using cliches, so the idea is to take a cliche and twist it into something original.

Another Example: (cliche) As Easy as Pie into (non-cliche) its simpler than the alphabet (terrible example im just too tired to think)
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

When Hell freezes over! > When Bacon stops using templates!

(Like that?)
 
yeah except you are breaking the rules about being a funny guy and im starting to get rather pissy
(but yes i guess)
 
All for one and one for all (into) We all have a common goal and will share the rewards evenly.

There are plenty of other fish in the sea (into) Dude/girl, stop stalking that dude/chick, he/she is a dick/bitch anyway. He/she rejected you so it is his/her loss.
