Re: I'm sick of hearing overused cliche phrases . . .
I also had a boss that boogered up every big word she said. It was totally fun for all of us to review the "speech" after a meeting and laugh our tails off. The really good ones were like those that you mentioned in your examples---words that when switched would totally change the meaning of the sentence because the substituted word still "worked".
I was never very good at using cliches. My dad is a true expert at them and has the most extensive mental library of redneck cliches that I've ever heard of. I have often considered writing them all down and selling them in a book. Some of them are so good they'll make you choke with laughter and I consider my father as a dangerous person if he lays one out while you're drinking something.
I love a good redneck cliche, myself!
I'd list a few examples, but as I said, I never can remember them.
