Many copywriters don't get how useless they are. Sure, they're easy to write. Sure they sound conversational. Sure they are moribund as King Tut's great grandfather. What is fun, though, is taking a cliche and twisting it. Cliche's get gazed over - but make a twist and it snags someone. Dan Kennedy is great at them. He made reference to, not another "Chicken Soup for the Parapelegic Inamate's Soul" which I thought was a brilliant twist on not just saying, "not another Chicken Soup for the Soul" book.

Sure, they’re easy to write. Sure they sound conversational. Sure they are moribund as King Tut’s great grandfather.

What is fun, though, is taking a cliche and twisting it. Cliche’s get gazed over - but make a twist and it snags someone.

Dan Kennedy is great at them. He made reference to, not another “Chicken Soup for the Parapelegic Inamate’s Soul” which I thought was a brilliant twist on not just saying, “not another Chicken Soup for the Soul” book.
