Daily Writing Prompt #53

What a cliché!

As writers, we all know to avoid clichĂ©s. To aid in this effort, it’s due time that we toss out some new harebrained phrases into the culture so they have time to marinate into future clichĂ©s. In seriousness, this prompt is meant to help us draw new connections between existing ideas.

Prompt: Pick one (or more) of the following clichés and write a new phrase to express the same sentiment. Zaniness encouraged.

Her heart sank
Easy as pie
Avoid like the plague
The elephant in the room
Like a fish out of water
In the nick of time
When push comes to shove
Find the silver lining
