Publisher's Synopsis

This is a unique and invaluable aid for writers and anyone interested in, or plagued by, clichs, listing around a thousand overused expressions and suggesting original and plain-English alternatives. It also indicates how clichd each of the phrases is - from mildly irritating to completely unacceptable - and explains the origin of many of the expressions discussed.
