Comments: clichés

Cliches are to an English major as creative, original lyrics are to a country singer... (i.e. they are avoided at all costs) :-)

Even though I am being sacrilegious, here are a few of my faves--
1. Throw gas on the fire
2. Think outside the box
3. Too many chefs spoil the soup

Honorable mention to: I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I won't hold my breath.

I'd have to say "Running around like a chicken with his head cut off", both because that's what my life mostly consists of these days, and because of the hillarious mental image (look at him go!).

I'm taking an early position with "ignorance is bliss" but I reserve the right to change that as I explore my possibilities. I'm also a fan of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" because, many times, a seemingly perfect solution just gets me deeper into trouble.

One of my favorite cliches is:

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
