Cliches that need to be banned on this site.

Featured Replies

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:

That bloke is an absolute spud (even though he's getting a regular game in a team much better than ours)

 

"Stay positive"

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.

 

It's a no contest.

"Thoughts"? at the end of a post should win hands down.

yes, i will "plus one" that one. another one is where posters "really rate" a player, as though their opinion has some kind of official status, or any status.

Love your work.

That's the first time anyone's mentioned that in months.

Thought the same.

Not sure it's a cliche anyway.

It is looking like 'Cyril Riolo type' is replacing 'Ryan O'keefe type' as the pick of the draft talk clices.

One from the players and clubs - "IT (the thing obviously distracting the players/club) won't be a distraction".

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:

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

Zing !

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:

Just use FMD and you won't have that problem :)

 

I don't think it's a cliche but the saying, "That should be in the Scully thread" really gets my goat!

Being that the cliche you have mentioned is about Tom Scully can I please ask moderators to move this to the appropriate thread.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
