Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995
Clichés are as trite and overused as the dictionary says they are. Still, why be a wet blanket about it? Stand up and fight for your language with The Cliché Rotation Project, a site near and dear to our hearts. We took to it like ducks to water, so much so that we're ready and willing to write a Pick about it. Join us and the Defective Yeti in a battle to replace clichés with new turns on old words. We present just a smattering of our favorites from CRP's new adages, truisms, and metaphorical malapropisms.
| The Cliché Rotation Project's Best New Expressions | |||
| Rotated Out | Rotated In | ||
| Ready and willing | On it like a bonnet | ||
| Looks a gift horse in the mouth | Wants birthday cake on Christmas | ||
| It's a win-win situation. | Everyone gets ice cream! | ||
| More fun than a barrel of monkeys | More fun than 20 yards of bubble wrap | ||
| You made your bed, now sleep in it. | You poop it, you scoop it. | ||
Submit your own replacements on the CRP webpage, and let's grease up those rusty clichés.
