Cliche is a tired, overused phrase. Often it has become meaningless.

examples: As blue as the sky..
poorer than a pickpocket in a nudist colony
kick the dog and cat
chew the rag
Well I'll be a money's uncle
as screwed up as a football bat
cold turkey
lie like a rug
two shakes of a lamb's tail
chew him out
put your foot down
