56 Cliché Cache

from Scattered Curiosities · host Albort Einstone

How many movies have you seen that feature a wardrobe montage, a protagonist tearing out an IV to hastily leave the hospital, post-coital bed-sheets that magically only cover the woman’s chest, or characters uttering stale lines like, “We’ve got company”, “No time to explain”, or “He’s behind me, isn’t he?” All are examples of clichés but they aren’t just confined to films and television. Join Albort as he dissects some of the common clichés used in everyday language from the ‘bee’s knees’ to ‘cat’s pajamas’ to ‘the early bird catching the worm’. You’ll also get familiar with Pipe Dreams, Pink Elephants, Drug Store Cowboys and meet the "most fecund maker of American slang." Gadzooks!
