A Few Cliches Explained

Sometimes these things just pop into my head as I try and fall asleep. Then I pick myself up off the floor, rub my head, and write them down on whatever paper or candy carton is laying around.

Have you ever wondered that people who wanted to be on the same page are even reading the same book as you?

Seems to me, people who want you to get your ducks in a row are bad at shooting guns.

People who want you to hit the ground running will stick their left foot in front of you at the starting line.

  1. I like cliches. I know they are not popular, but, well, I guess they are with non-writers – otherwise, they wouldn’t be cliches. They are a short cut to meanings that used to be universal, I guess. And, I suppose they serve some sort of purpose in the grand scheme of things. Come to think of it, what does ‘get your ducks in a row’ mean?

    • Hi tmso. I like cliche’s too; they’re great to make fun of as I find some people using them way too much, especially in workplace offices. “Get your ducks in a row” is to organize things well.
