Clichés that are clichés because they're true

@stickboy

They aren’t cliches because they are true…they are cliches because they are overused and THAT is what makes them a cliche.

Why not both?

“We are where we are” is my parents’ one of these. It’s true, and annoying!

Can I take this opportunity to say I don’t like it when people say ‘cliche’ instead of ‘cliched’.

Thank you

[GoFasterStripes]

Oh warny, you’re so cliche

[Raanraals]

Not true! I sometimes carry on looking just for the craic.

There are plenty more fish in the sea. True when it comes to potential partners, less so in regards to global seafood stock

I like it when there is a cliché (well, a proverb really) for both sides of an argument.

“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” vs “fortune favours the brave”

“You’ve got to speculate to accumulate” vs “a fool and his money are soon parted”

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

True, unless it’s at the top of a hill or something.

A stitch, delivered in a timely fashion to a garment, is indeed likely to save nine further stitches (which would be required if small hole in a garment was left unchecked)

Walked past the bus stop on my way to work and heard an old woman say, “You watch there’ll be three along at once in a minute”.

Some top top bus stop chat right there.

These are not clichés! They are aphorisms!
