Further Explanation

Cliché or cliché is a phrase that is commonly used and is too often used or repeated so that it loses its original meaning or message so that it feels stale by some parties.

The use of cliché in our daily writing or speech can show our understanding of English which is a foreign language. However, in making work, it helps us put fewer cliche sentences to make our writing more unique and original.

Various types of cliches or cliches

• The first is the cliché which is often found in British English, namely "What goes around comes back around" which means, everything that is done — good or bad — has its own consequences. If we do good, we will get good too; and if we commit a crime, we will also receive a similar reward.
• Furthermore, a cliché that we may often encounter is "the list goes on". The meaning of the sentence is "etc.", which is used as closing when giving some examples of things. In Indonesian, we also know him as "and so on" or "and so on".
• Then, the cliché that is also commonly found is "only time will tell" which literally means "the only time that can be revealed". The purpose of this cliche is, clarity on something that will definitely be answered someday, and all we can do is wait for the day to come.
• We are also certainly familiar with this one cliché. When someone says "It's a matter of time", then he is asserting that something will definitely happen later, both sooner or later.
• Then, if we hear someone say "It scared out of my wits", it indicates that he is very scared. The sentence is difficult to translate literally, but its meaning is similar to being extremely frightened.
• We certainly often encounter the phrase "If life gives you lemons ..." which if translated into Indonesian means "If life gives you lemons". This phrase stores an implied message, where the lemon with its acidic nature is a picture of an unpleasant event that might occur. So, the above cliché has the full meaning, "Do a good thing in a bad situation".
• Furthermore, if we hear someone say "He woke up on the wrong side of the bed", then that doesn't really mean that the subject of conversation woke up on the wrong side of the bed. This shows that he is not in a good mood when he wakes up.
• Don't cry over spilled milk in Indonesian means "Don't cry over spilled milk", which means that we should not be saddened by something that has already happened and we cannot change. The equivalent in Indonesian is "rice has become porridge".
• If translated, "laughter is the best medicine" means "laughter is the best medicine". The implied meaning is not so far from what is revealed, namely laughter or happiness is the best way to overcome anxiety or anxiety.  
• This last cliché is similar to the phrase "not everything that sparkles is gold", which means, not everything that looks good is really good. For that, we should not easily judge something from the outside.
