Turn on any news, sports, or entertainment station and chances are you'll be bombarded by clichés. In today’s era of shock, awe, and hyperbole, everything needs a cool nickname, an alliterative description, or at the least, a clichéd narrative. However, have you ever thought about the clichés that are so often thrown about?
· Are you never too old to learn, or is it impossible to teach old dog new tricks?
· Does absence make the heart truly grow fonder, or is it out of sight, out of mind?
· Is it true that haste makes waste, or is that the only way for the early bird to get the worm?
· If nothing is ventured, can you gain, or is it better to be safe than sorry?
· Do you make sure to never put off until tomorrow what you can do today or do you worry about that bridge when you come to it?
· If you are a nice guy, will you finish last or do you do unto others as you have them do unto you?
· Since talk is so cheap, how can a word to the wise be sufficient?
· If it’s only a penny for your thoughts, why do you put in your two cents?
· Should you look before you leap or will that hesitation make you lost?
· And finally, how can you be aware of Greeks bearing gifts you don’t look that gift horse in the mouth?
Until next time, keep readin’

I remember taking social psych in college and one of the first points was that "common sense" is a double sided sword and that experimentation was the only way to come to some answers, even if those answers seemed to be a truism.
ReplyDeleteSome of your examples remind be of that course...
