Clichés are a prominent part of our use of language. The fact of the matter is they are the overused part of our lexicon. That expression was used six times today on Meet the Press. Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu used that terminology five times. New Orleans Talk Radio host Garland Robinette used it once.
A very nice lady, who might be reading my blog, uses the words “come on” when she is frustrated with the discussion and lacks the language skills. Her, I excuse, because she was born in Egypt and has lived part of her adult life in Brazil and Japan. But, come on Americans. It’s time we learned how to use our language.
This is a good time to give my pitch for Toastmasters. You will improve your speaking skills and most likely receive applause from your boss.
