I'd be sorely remiss in my advice if I just told you to avoid using clichés without actually giving you a list of those tired and worn phrases that you should be avoiding like the plague (Ha! I couldn't help myself :).
- all work and no play
- apple of one's eye
- armed to the teeth
- as luck would have it
- at first blush
- barking up the wrong tree
- beat a dead horse
- beat around the bush
- bite the bullet
- bull in a china shop
- burn the midnight oil
- busy as a bee
- by leaps and bounds
- calm before the storm
- can't see the forest for the trees
- caught red-handed
- cool as a cucumber
- dead as a doornail
- dead giveaway
- diamond in the rough
- down in the dumps
- down on one's luck
- dressed to the nines
- easier said than done
- face the music
- fate worse than death
- few and far between
- fit as a fiddle
- food for thought
- free as a bird
- gentle as a lamb
- green-eyed monster
- grind to a halt
- have an axe to grind
- head over heels
- high and dry
- high as a kite
- hit the nail on the head
- in the nick of time
- in the twinkling of an eye
- in one fell swoop
- larger than life
- last but not least
- let the cat out of the bag
- mad as a hornet
- make a long story short
- more than meets the eye
- needle in a haystack
- neither here nor there
- on a wild goose chase
- once in a blue moon
- pretty as a picture
- quiet as a mouse
- rain cats and dogs
- sight for sore eyes
- skeleton in one's closet
- stick out like a sore thumb
- take the bull by the horns
- tired as a dog
- tried and true
- turn over a new leaf
- waiting on bated breath
- wise as an owl
- wolf in sheep's clothing
Have I missed any? If you know of a cliché that is just SO overused it would spell trouble for any who use it, let me know in the comments or via e-mail and I'll add it to the list!
