I don't know who Carter is and have no idea about his liver pills(!?) Yesterday because of strong winds I was delayed in burning our trash, so today when I went to do so, I thought "I have more trash than Carter has liver pills"....

Cliches, cliches, cliches...Do you think you need to make lemonade if you are out of sugar and the water is too bitter? Shouldn't you throw them at the cliche maker? Nah, but what do you think?

What cliche phrases do you hate?

ThePaintGuru @ThePaintGuru (541) • United States 2 Apr 08

We all have things we get annoyed hearing or reading over and over. Lately, I've found that "what is this world coming to" is a little too common on MyLot and it's grating on me a bit. Any similar feelings to share?
