Out with the old.........

Matthew Baldwin at Defective Yeti has begun the cliche renewal project. The idea is to take tired old cliches and modernize them into a fresh, new cliche. So - I gave it a try:

Old: Drunk as a sailor New: Drunk as a Gibson
Old: A rose by any other name is still a rose New: Prince by any other name is still Prince
Old: Land of milk and honey New: Land of Macs and iPods
Old: Make like the wind and blow out of here New: Yo, we atta he'e
Old: Couldn't punch your way out of a wet paper bag New: Would get hurt by your own Wii (pronounced wee)
Old: It takes one to know one New: Whatever
Old: Fox guarding the henhouse New: The Donald guiding the debutantes
Old: All over that like a fat kid on a smartie New: All over that like a Hung on Idol
Old: Low man on the totem pole New: Amoeba on the food chain
Old: First come, first served New: You snooze, you lose
Old: You can pick your friends,you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose New: It's more fun to play with your own Wii (pronounced wee)


Now you try..................

We actually do have one we use all the time. Instead of "like white on rice" We say, they were all over that like cats on ham.
