Fun Size

I don't realize why they call the little candy bars "fun size," theres nothing fun about it.

Cliches, Cliches, Cliches

So when someone thinks of cliches, they usually think well... "What does that mean?" At least, thats what I thought right away, until my memory was jogged by my wonderful teacher. A cliche, a common phrase or statement that is used so often it is universally known, is something everyone of us use and try not to in some circumstances. When I think of cliches, I picture those super awkward in movies or even in real life when that one really awkward guy you know (yes, you know who you are) says something just ridiculously cheesy and causes an extremely awkward silence.  I can't stand those moments (so I usually make a joke back at him).

I don't know if anyone else notices this, but when I game (game=play video games (for the old timers)) I think it's hilarious when the announcers continuously make the same comments. And it's not just in gaming, but also in real life. This picture shows a pretty good representation of that.

I think it's just awkward when they say these things.

In the movies, cliches happen all the time... Even if you don't know it. When I watched this clip on Youtube I learned some cliches I didn't even realize were there. This video covers the 10 most used cliches in movies.

Obviously we have all seen this in movies and sometimes make them good, but others just make them outdated and "the usual."

Another popular area to have a cliche in a movie is during a waiting period.  When nothing much is going on in a movie, cliches appear and can be pretty funny.  Easily my favorite is this clip for The Hangover.

Probably one of my favorite cliches of all time is, "Stuff happens, or Sh** happens." These two are pretty common among teens as an adult would guess.  Cliches happen to the best of us, even though we try to stray away from them because they lack originality.  So be fresh in your writings, and stay away from cliches (thats a warning).

Godspeed.
