Just when an expression becomes tired and looses its expressive force is not clear,
so the danger of clichéd writing is always present, particularly when writing contains hidden metaphors or similes. That is, what once seemed to be afresh and interesting comparison may now have been used so often that we don’t even recognize it as a metaphor or simile invented long ago to good purpose. We talk and write more or less automatically about aims and targets, for instance, without

sensing the underlying metaphor of weapons and war that long ago shaped such expressions. While using such hidden images isn’t wrong, one would do better to nd new expressive means wherever possible to enliven one’s writing. Clichés are, on the other hand, quick ways to convey a known or assumed bit of information or idea.
