National Cliche Day - What a truly fun holiday! Everyone has used cliches in their daily conversations and sometime or another we’ve all said to each other, “That is soooo cliche!” So to give you a run-down (in case you don’t really know the real definition of cliche), a cliche is a phrase or expression that has been used so often that its intended use has lost its…you know…oomph! Today on National Cliche Day, you are totally encouraged to use as many cliches as possible today and no one can make you feel bad about it. Here are some situations to use popular cliches. For example, if a friend comes to you with a dilemma or is having a rough day, pat them on the shoulder and say “It happens!” Did your child or partner lose a big game? In times like this say “You win some you lose some.” Now, I only have one request: don’t listen to anybody who says “money can’t buy you happiness” because whoever says that doesn’t know where to shop and how to save! Head over to PersonalCreations.com and have something personalized with a popular cliche for someone you know or yourself.

Housewife’s Day - Ahhh, housewives. What is it with this group of people that receives so much attention in pop culture and the media? Well, I’ll tell you (that’s what I’m here for!). The classic housewife stereotype began around the same time as the nuclear family ideal in the 1950s. Women attended to the duties at home, cooking, cleaning, raising the children, helping them with homework and so on and so forth, while their husbands went to work. During the war, things really began to change for women. They entered the working world, their priorities on marriage and children changed, and they were no longer tied to their home life. It’s important that we bring awareness to this dominant group of people in society who may not necessarily receive the props they deserve. It’s been calculated that if a stay-at-home housewife/mother were to be paid for the work she does in a year, it would surpass $100,000! Whether you’re a housewife or know someone who is, go above and beyond for them (or yourself) by checking out Diamond.com.

Well, I think talking without saying something cliche is as easy as pie. You just have to really think as you speak, so that you’re not all over the map with such phrases, you know what I mean?
If, unlike me, you fear using cliche phrases, simply put the ball in another’s court by asking open-ended questions this way you don’t really have to speak. And don’t let someone pull the wool over your eyes by saying they’ve made up their own cliche phrase…they’ll just be pulling your leg.
As for me, I NEVER speak in cliche phrases. If I did, I’d just be pulling your chain, which is only as strong as its weakest link
