Try a cliché

Have we just been encouraged to use cliches?


For as long as I can remember teachers, lecturers, editors and the whole bang lot have been stressing the importance of being able to express yourself without words and phrases that have been used a million times before.


However, now we have been nudged in the direction of using them? This is strange to me, and although I do tend to use a cliché now and then (no one can deny it , we all do)  - I try to stick to what I have been thought and that is to avoid them.


So as much as I would love to follow Marian’s instruction and try a cliché, I will have to politely decline.
