The Vague and Trumped Up Phrases Game

Hey guys!

We've all used vague or cliched phrases before, so let's get into the practice of NOT using them. The way this game works is, one user posts a cliche, or vague phrase, and the next user pretties. At the bottom of their post, they include a phrase for correcting. The next user pretties it up and posts a new one and so on and so on.

Cliche - He turned to her.

It was painful for Ale to curl his fingers tight enough around the arm of the chair to turn his face in her direction. She could tell by the sweat in the creases on the sides of his nose, the small salty pools he made for her.
