  1. It's difficult to avoid cliche.  Most cliches probably began as fresh and new ways of seeing the world.   But when other people repeated them because they were memorable, they lost some of their initial impact.  Language is after all a very social phenomenon.  Cliches are a kind of shorthand that we sometimes use when we're not making any particular effort to think clearly and originally.  But they also can be used for effect, for humor, etc.  They help us sound like we're part of a group that also uses similar language.  And a lot of times that can be more important than using fresh and new expressions.
