The Cliché Rotation Project
 Clichés are as trite and overused as the dictionary says they are. Still, why be a wet blanket about it? Stand up and fight for your language with The Cliché Rotation Project, a site near and dear to our hearts. We took to it like ducks to water, so much so that we're ready and willing to write a Pick about it. Join us and the Defective Yeti in a battle to replace clichés with new turns on old words. We present just a smattering of our favorites from CRP's new adages, truisms, and metaphorical malapropisms.

Best New Expressions |
| Rotated Out |
Rotated In |
| Ready and willing |
On it like a bonnet |
| Looks a gift horse in the mouth |
Wants birthday cake on Christmas |
| It's a win-win situation. |
Everyone gets ice cream! |
| More fun than a barrel of monkeys |
More fun than 20 yards of bubble wrap |
| You made your bed, now sleep in it. |
You poop it, you scoop it. |
Submit your own replacements on the CRP webpage, and let's grease up those rusty clichés.
