WONDERFUL, SIMPLY WONDERFUL! OMG! OMG! OMG! I'm okay. :|

^ *Consumes your soul, even more voraciously than the cookies*

OMG, WANT!

...

YEET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Nebeh nebeh. Nebeh. Beh. Beh.

Take it easy.

No.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

How wonderful, how perfectly splendid!

How dazzling!

How magnificent, my splendor...!

Worship me. :|

ROFL!!

How wonderful--wonderful!!

Thank you for clarifying, my darling.

(Well, there's a switch.)

What exactly, if anything, are you trying to prove, other than you apparently cannot comprehend...anything? *obligatory, but disdainful, wink*

Oh, I hate accusatory blame. It's so much worse than non-accusatory blame, because, with the redundancy, comes a tidal wave of extra blame. Bad stuff.

Anyway, in every day conversation, clichés are not only standard, but innate--so innate that they are, even for the above average speaker or someone bent on avoiding them, in any practical sense, inextricable. Idioms are so ingrained into English speech that it would be impossible to sustain conversation without them. I'm sure, even in your post, there is a gamut of different clichés and ubiquitous phrasing. Most likely, even in this response (in fact, "most likely" is an idiomatic phrase--as is "in fact").

Writing is different, naturally--good writing should avoid cliché, of course. But most people are not good, or even average, writers. Most people verge on illiteracy.

Although, I suppose I should be polite and agree that that particular phrase in indeed quite useless. But again, that is what an idiom is: It is a phrase that, if examined literally, becomes nonsensical.

So, you're a realist.

I personally would rather see the glass as half-filled with coffee, but then who drinks coffee from a glass? That's just not right.

It totally does make a difference, in this case: One can see the physical emptiness, the void, in the glass or one can see the physical liquid--both of which are evident. Perspective can change everything, because our interaction with physical reality comes chiefly through how we interpret our perception, no? We can control, within limits, how we interpret what we perceive. We can often control certain aspects of physical reality: We can drink from the glass. We can fill it. We can break it. But we might not do anything but decide "my opinion cannot change anything" if we do not pursue one more decisive, more provocative motivation or another (positivity, negativity, etc.).

Again, that will never, ever happen; the English language is so riddled with idioms that no amount of effort could extract them completely. Just sayin'.

Yeah, I wam warning you ONCE and ONLY ONCE.

YES, I AM TALKING TO YOU, 25 PEOPLE WHO VIEWED THIS THREAD AND DID *NOT* RESPOND.

What are your thoughts, my darlings?

Hey, hey, hey!!

Hey!

What are your thoughts about this highly elusive and controversial subjecto?

Sometimes, behaviors are wort' a second look; sometimes, you gotta write down some observations about the stuffs peoples does, and look 'em over. Study 'em, if you will.

THOUGHTS? QUESTIONS? OBJECT-I-ONS?

What do you think, my puppets?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

No, little fool. No.

I was not referring to the coonskin cap, obviously, for that is a timeless thing; I was referring to your apparent miscomprehension of the "asterisk action," which is an internet meme of sorts, which my generation is apparently more wont to recognize--and use.

...

My beauty! My everlasting beauty!! <:(

HEY, your generation is showing.

*Goes ahead and piddles on the thread*

Thanks, everyone! Yes, I am beautiful, thank you!

Or perhaps it's the inside of your head.

(I'm really quite shocked that that wasn't what YOU said, as my previous comment was a perfect setup for anyone. Oh well. Lowering expectations even more.)

But it is always imaginary and thus easily snuffed out--to reveal the dark void that is reality.
