The Iconoclast

Cliché corner

This week's cliché is: "Good luck with that."

Reform Islam? Good luck with that. World peace? Good luck with that.

It was sardonic and pithy, but its time has passed.

I like to catch such expressions at their peak, and replace them with something new and fresh. My ultimate goal is to eradicate clichés from the English language.

Yes, I know what you're going to say. Well don't. Help me out here.
