Tracy Crump's List of Clichés Tracy Crump’s List of Clichés Sayings, homilies, maxims, truisms, old saws, proverbs, aphorisms, euphemisms, figures of speech, adages, axioms. Whatever you want to call them, clichés are the everyday expressions we've grown up with and express exactly the right sentiment for the occasion. They are familiar and comforting, like an old bathrobe, and I love them. Unfortunately, editors don't. (Read To Cliché or Not to Cliché to see why.) Nevertheless, I made my own collection of clichés over the past few years, accumulated bit by bit from my reading, experience, family, and even television. Most of them are old, but a few have cropped up more recently. I've amassed over 1600 (with a little help from my friends) and posted them here for your enjoyment. I once started a list of common sayings from the Bible and was surprised by how much of our everyday speech stems from Scripture. You will see Scripture references next to those I've found. Most come from the King James Version, and some may be derived from the meaning of the text rather than an exact quote. If you enjoy these, you may want to visit other cliché sites. The best I’ve found is ClicheSite.com, which includes each cliché’s meaning and in some cases, its origin. The Cliché Finder is another excellent source of clichés. A Apple of my eye Above all else April showers bring May flowers Above board [He would] argue with a fence post Absence makes the heart grow fonder [He’s been] around the block [He's an] accident waiting to happen As American as apple pie According to the letter of the law As bald as a billiard ball Ace in the hole As bald as an egg Actions speak louder than words As black as coal Act your age, not your IQ As black as night Add insult to injury As black as pitch Add the finishing touches As blind as a bat After while, crocodile As big as a mountain Against all odds As bright as day Agree to disagree As broad as a barn All done in As busy as a beaver All downhill from there As busy as a bee [I’m] all ears As busy as Grand Central Station All is vanity (Ecclesiastes 1:2 and others) As clean as a whistle [In] all kinds of weather As clear as mud All’s fair in love and war As clumsy as an ox All’s well that ends well As comfortable as old shoes All talk and no action As cool as a cucumber All that glitters is not gold As crazy as a Bessie bug [He's] all thumbs As crazy as a loon All tuckered out As crooked as a dog's hind leg Alright already As cute as a bug Always a bridesmaid, never a bride As cute as a button And neither the twain shall meet As cute as a bug Ants in his pants As dead as a doornail Anyone with a lick of sense As different as night and day Apple a day keeps the doctor away As dry as a bone Apple never falls far from the tree As drunk as a skunk Tracy Crump’s List of Clichés As dumb as a box of rocks As sharp as a tack As dumb as a doornail As shiny as a new dime As easy as pie As silent as the grave As excited as a kid at Christmas As skinny as a rail (pole, beanpole) As far as the east is from the west As slick as glass (Psalm 103:12) As slippery as an eel As fast as greased lightning As slow as Christmas As fat as a pig As slow as molasses in winter As fine as frog's hair As sly as a fox As fit as a fiddle As smart as a whip As flat as a pancake As smooth as glass As full as a tick As soft as a baby’s bottom As gentle as a lamb As sour as a lemon As good as dead (Hebrews 11:12) As strong as an ox As green as grass As sweet as honey As happy as a clam As sweet as sugar As happy as a lark As snug as a bug in a rug As happy as a pig in mud (2 Peter 2:22) As stiff as a board As hard as a rock As still as a statue As heavy as lead As stubborn as a mule As high as a kite As sure as you’re born As high as a mountain As the crow flies As honest as the day is long As thick as thieves As hungry as a bear As tough as nails As hungry as a horse As weak as a kitten As if your life depended on it As welcome as the flowers in May Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies As white as a ghost As limp as a dishrag As white as a sheet As light as a feather As white as snow As loose as a goose As wild as a banshee As luck would have it As wise as an owl As mad as a hatter As you may have guessed by now As mad as a hornet At death's door As mad as a wet hen At every turn As mean as a junkyard dog At face value As mean as a snake At his beck and call As nervous as a long-tailed cat in a At my wit’s end (Psalm 107:27) room full of rocking chairs At the drop of a hat As nutty as a fruitcake At the end of my rope As old as dirt Avoid it like the plague As plain as day As plain as the nose on your face B As playful as a kitten Babes in the woods As pleased as punch Back by popular demand As poor as a churchmouse Back in the groove As pretty as a peach Back off As pretty as a picture Back to full steam As proud as a peacock Back to square one As quick as a flash Back with a vengeance As quick as a fox Bad hair day As quick as a wink Bad news travels fast As quiet as a mouse Bad things come in threes As red as a beet Bad to the bone As right as rain Bald-faced lie As sharp as a razor [My] ball and chain Tracy Crump’s List of Clichés Ball’s in your court Birds and the bees [A] banner year Birds of a feather flock together Bare facts Bite your tongue Bare minimum Bit off more than he could chew Barking up the wrong tree Bit the dust Bark is worse than his bite Blanket of snow Barrel of fun Blessed be the ties that bind [He has] bats in his belfry Bless his heart Beat him hands down [A] blessing in disguise Beat him to a pulp Blew his top Beat him to the punch Blondes have more fun [I could] beat him with one hand tied Blood is thicker than water behind my back Blood will tell Beat their swords into plowshares Blow-by-blow account (Isaiah 2:4) Blows my mind Beat them at their own game Blow the socks off him Beat the odds Bolt from the blue [I could] beat the sock off him Bone of contention Beauty is only skin deep [I have a] bone to pick with you Became abundantly clear Boob tube Been there;

  • These Traditions Reveals the Ways Churubusco Relates to Other Communities and to the Nation Through Its Folklore
    10 MIDWESTERN FOLKLORE these traditions reveals the ways Churubusco relates to other communities and to the nation through its folklore. Further analysis suggests how participation in the broader American symbolic system both influences and inhibits local collective representations of identity and pride. Although the symbols introduced in this chapter recur in various guises in later turtle days traditions, they play minor roles since they convey neither the sense of community uniqueness nor the absolute national significance of the Beast of ’Busco, the focus of the emergent folklore. Chapter Two, “The Great Turtle Hunt,” relates the history of the 1949 events. Local newspaper sources, along with interviews with participating townsfolk, establish a chronology of the historic events. Folkloristic discussion focuses on local and national turtle lore, the American tall tale/traveler tale tradition, and the mythical animal quest theme. The events of 1949 are viewed as an enactment of American cultural themes. Chapter Three, “Town Folklore,” concerns the town’s elaboration of the cultural script enacted by the turtle hunters. This chapter examines the symbiosis of folklore and popular culture by detailing the extent to which elements of folklife and folklore along with commerce, industry, and media hoaxing produce a complex of celebratory protofestive behavior. The focus here is how the town placed itself on the map and acquired its source of local and national identity. Concluding discussion addresses the American provenance of protofestive behavior. Chapter Four, “Emergent Folklore,” is based on interviews and observations twenty-two years after the events of 1949. The reader is returned to Fulk Lake and to Churubusco to discover that personal-experience stories, conversations, tall tales, practical jokes, folk poetry, folk speculation, hoaxing, and legend related to the Beast of ’Busco theme continue to appear in a variety of contexts, both oral and printed.

  • The Florida Historical Quarterly
    COVER Most of Florida’s 1891 legislative session was consumed by the U.S. senatorial elec- tion in which Wilkinson Call was seeking a third term. When it appeared likely that he would prevail, 17 anti-Call senators left town, hoping to prevent a quorum and thus a valid vote. When the sergeant-at-arms failed to find them, the Florida Times- Union reported that they had gone to Georgia to escape his jurisdiction. In the same article the newspaper dubbed the absent senators “The Babes in the Woods.” Shown here are 15 of the 17 absent senators who have since been known by that appella- tion.
