Cliches that need to be banned on this site.

Recommended Posts

just keyboard economy kent

p.s. take out cliches and many of us would have nothing to say (at the end of the day that is)

Cliches on Demonland are close to the best part.

Used well they "amuse me no end"

Well at the end of the day and in the light of that same day I think all things are revealed in the fulness of time. We ought to realise things are always darkest before the dawn but thankfully that light at the end of the tunnel will illuminate all.Well every dog has its day and I feel every Demonlander entitled to a say even if that say is to say a tad too cliche !!

Ban cliches....Just off the top of my head, I think it's over your head. I mean you'd loose your head if it wasn't attached. Go runnin' 'round like a chicken with its head cut off. I need your opinon like I need a hole in the head and if I had eyes in the back of my head I'd say two heads are better than one, but in your case I think you're in over your head. It's all in your head. You got your head in the clouds. Regardless, don't bury your head in the sand.

Anyhow my head id swimming.:wacko:

It's not a cliche, but it really irritates me when certain posters play the person who voices an opinion in good faith that may be at odds with their own opinion.

Wreaks of little computer nerds playing the tough guy on the keyboard. I wish they would either ignore the opinion or counter it with logical, well reasoned responses - surely this should be simple if the contrary view being expressed is so plainly stupid in the first place.

Graham Chapman: I think all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

All: Yes, yes...

Graham Chapman: I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

Not Sure?: Mrs. Havoc-Jones.

Mrs. Havoc-Jones: Well, I meet a lot of people and I'm convinced that the vast majority of wrongthinking people are right.

Not Sure?: There seems like a consensus there. Could we have the next question, please?

Woman: I would like to ask the team what changes they would make if they were Hitler?

Graham Chapman: Well, speaking personally, I would annex the Sudetenland.

Not Sure?: Norman?

Norman: I think I'd pay some Dutchmen to set fire to Lord Snowdon.

By the way, there is a 'game' (more of a nonsense way to pass time on trains) based on cliches. Pretty simple.

Their cliches have come home to roost.

A cliche in the hand is worth two in the bush.

We're just taking it one cliche at a time.

Well, it is better than the number plate alphabet game.

Which repeated, mindless cliches do you hate?

1. " Collingwood"

2. "Tom Scully decision" (should be annotated TSD for Forum purposes to save Greenhouse Gas Emissions ( GGE))

3. +1 ( don't really mind it but surely it deserves an honorable mention.

4. my favorite is : " all thinking people agree/know that .........."

It's not really a cliche but " Have a bex and a lie down " really shits me. Anyone under the age 40 has no idea what a bex is let alone taken one.

but its not a laxative SD, its just a headache table :)

i thought you under 40's knew all about the internet and google

p.s. what do you do when you have a real problem :huh:

FFS: FFS this abbreviation annoys me :lol: Any other alternatives much appreciated.

FWIW: Is there a live market out there that puts a value on our comments/views?

Go get yourself a tea/Go lie down/Take a breather: Hang on, doesn't tea have caffeine in it which will keep me awake wanting to write more drivel which will annoy you even more? Lying down will probably ensure a nice rest, enabling me to think up more drivel and then i'll have more energy to write more stuff that you can't stand! Taking a breather should help to re-energise me and re charge my batteries :rolleyes:.... allowing me to do same as previous Go Lie Down comment.

Cuts me to the 'flag' core: Haven't seen it used yet but i'm probably going to!

We should have seen this coming: Now that we can read the tea leaves....can someone with this amazing gift pleeeease use it to select our next premiership coach! Seriously, we need your help....things are pretty grim atm!

We butcher the ball: Probably damning and somewhat true of our team this year but i'm just sick of hearing it lol.

Get John Butcher: Ummm....yeh....well i'm pretty sure it ain't happening.

Get Fev: That ain't happening either.

Ain't: I use this way too often and the grammar police on here probably hate me for it. Actually they probably hate most of what i'm writing haha.

+1: Something i'm guilty of using a little too often...:)

This ^^ : Something Belze uses a little too often! Sorry Belze lol. And now i'm starting to as well. Thanks alot Belze! :lol:

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
