If I had a nickel....What is your most used Cliche?  | |  Everyone uses cliches, sometimes without knowing it. I get a kick out of people who use them inappropriately. They think they are being intelligent when in fact they have no idea of what they are talking about. Sometimes people over use them, seriously over use them. I am not sure what my personal favorite is. I know there are some that are pretty universal, like blind as a bat, but there are also some regional ones. My mom, her mom, and aunt always said Lord love a duck when ever we would do something stupid as kids. I guess that beats saying What the .... you know what I mean.
What are some of your favorite or most used cliches?

| | 2.  idowrite72 (878) | 4 months ago |  My mother had so many sayings. I think it was from being from West Virginia and part of the southern upbringing she had, but it is fun to remember them now and then. My younger sister was supposed to be writing them down, but I don't think that she ever did, and it makes me wish that I did. When I taught school, I used to use them all the time and then I would have to explain them since the kids didn't understand them, at all. Or maybe her sayings aren't the same as cliches?
my 3 year old grandson says "what the......" all the time and stops and it cracks me up. I'm not sure that he knows the rest of it but it is cute coming from him. Hopefully, he won't find the rest of it anytime soon.
dumb as a rock
smell bad as stink on sh**
as much as rice in China
someone's elevator doesn't go to the top
none of these are my mother's!!

| | 4.  _Honey_ (214) | 4 months ago |  One of my favorite lines is "History repeats itself." I always have this thing that once a person commits a mistake, and does it again. No matter how sorry he was and how sincere that he won't ever commit this again, for sure, there will still come a time that he'll go over the same cycle. I know it's some kind of pessimistic but heck, I'm just being realistic.
Another line I love is "Intention is nothing, result is everything". It meant like, no matter what you really wanted to do, if it turned out to be the opposite or not even close to what you wanted it to, what still matters was what was the outcome of it. I'm more of the results and not with how you really wanted them to be.
