Time for a game, everyone! So, this is how it works. One person will say a cliche, and the next person has to come up with something creative to replace it, and then they say another cliche, and so on. It'll be a different way of learning what to use and what to avoid. Rules are as follows:

1.) You cannot name a cliche that has already been named
2.) You cannot write something to replace your own cliche
3.) Make your replacements creative!
4.) Have fun with it! :P
5.) If two people post their reply to the same one, whoever posted it first according to the site will be considered the replier.

I'll start!

There's Plenty Of Fish In The Sea

The net's full, but you picked a minnow. Try fishing more.

His eyes were blue enough to swim in. (I dread this cliche.)

You could say his eyes are the ocean you want to swim in. But you couldn't say you want to swim in circles, could you?

(I'm not good at replacing something creative for a cliche. Cliché: Without you, I've got no hand to hold.)

They knew they were meant to be; fate knew they weren't.

Cliche: Without you, I'm not whole.

Every cloud has a silver lining, which is why rain is toxic now.

Cliche: You mean everything to me.
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

A heart cannot snap in two. You could die, if that happened.

Cliche: actions speak louder than words.
You are like a blacksmith's hammer, you always forge people's happiness until the coal heating up the forge turns to ash. Then you just refuel it and start over. -Persistence (2015)

You have so much potential and love bursting in you. -Omnom

Sometimes words can do more than actions.

Cliche: crying like a baby
You cannot train yourself to notice,
To feel pain, and swallow fear

Stop crying like a baby who has been left to its own devices by a mother without a heart.
