That is Cliche, so?

Cliches are awesome. I hate to beat a dead horse, but they just help us understand things. Yes, they often take up more than their fair share of space. But would you really want to live in a world where there were not certain arrangements of words that provided a meaning that connected it to all the other times it was used. Do they not arise naturally? Misuse of cliches is a bigger problem in my mind. Definitions can blur. But what about the children? Cliches tell a story. Use the word “mull” without following it with “over” for a challenge. Also I refuse to put the accent mark on the word cliche. It is no more a special word than hubris.
