communication between people is impossible. all people learn language individually. nobody taught me, or any person, language. language suddenly appears, spoken, in children. parents, when they parrot words at children, do not teach children language. language is genetic. the structures of language are already in our brains. all languages use similar structures. humans may learn which words to associate w/ which structures through hearing, but it is not taught.
each person has an individual language which is completely unique w/ individual associations for all words. i'm color blind. when i was young i felt that i shouldn't be judged 'color-blind' & that really these other people were 'color-blind'. i can see colors. my perception of of colors & their associated names is genetically different. i think language is the same. each person has individual language so 'real' communication b/w two people [or more] is impossible. two people can't think the same thought, or directly communicate a thought so perfectly that the other communicator [interlocutor?] thinks the same thought.
this is why cliches are important. cliches aid in person to person communication. the impossibility of communication causes, in my opinion & experience, anxiety & stress. someone says to me, 'i think peeing is an inherently political act'. i become anxious. i don't know how to answer. cliches lessen this anxiety & stress. cliches are culturally agreed upon phrases to express simple ideas [still impossible to communicate exactly]. if i possess a command of cliche, i can easily answer something like, 'tmi: too much information' or something equally boring, unoriginal, & a-unique.
the stress & anxiety produced from attempts at communication, i think, lead to violence. example: i was maybe twenty-three, at a bar w/ some friends. i shake my head about something. guy says, 'you shake your head at me?'-makes fists. the shaking of my head meant something specific to him. i say, 'maybe i shook my head, but it wasn't at you.' he says, 'you shake your head at me...'-adlibs something about causing physical pain.
stress & anxiety from communication is bad. cliches are good.

dost thou bite thy thumb at me?
To be sure, from now on the process is http://storyah44.info/profesor.html accelerated, as the dream is henceforth subjected to the same treatment as any other perception.. During this process, which I will call the dream displacement , I http://startso11.info/jm.lab.+chorus.html notice also the psychical intensity, significance, or emotional nature of the thoughts become transposed in sensory vividness.. These may take possession of the excitations in the circle of thought thus left to itself, establish a connection between it and the unconscious wish, and transfer http://startso11.info/ZAPYTANIE+123.html to it the energy inherent in the unconscious wish.. A slight flush crossed the Colonel's cheek as he returned quickly and a little stiffly, On the contrary--er--it may make it impossible for me to--er--act in this http://startso11.info/minister+w%C5%82a%C5%9Bciwy+do+spraw+transportu.html matter.. His conscience did http://startso11.info/logo+ira.html not trouble him at all.. His best collections are: Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford (1908), Young Wallingford (1910), Wallingford in His Prime http://storyah44.info/prawo+rzymskie+lektury.html (1913), and Wallingford and Blackie Daw (1913).. For the pulling off, which serves to represent commercial dishonesty, the dreamer himself gives http://startso11.info/www.piotrkaleta.com.pl.html a second explanation--namely, onanism.. But when Jim, proceeding to the jury-box, placed with equal politeness the remaining copies before the jury, the opposite counsel http://startso11.info/www.diana+123.html sprang to his feet.. And my last doubt http://startso11.info/gra+Dragon+Ball+Z%3A+Shin+Budokai.html of Mr.. No shyness, nor awkwardness, nor silence, could separate me from those who looked http://startso11.info/www.ippc-ps.pl.html lovely as lilies to my illuminated eyes.. Ellsworth took in all the desolation, the http://startso11.info/enault+Clio+na+cz%C4%99%C5%9Bci.html dismal expanse of the now enormous apartments, the shabby walls, the hideous bright spots where pictures had hung, the splintered flooring, the great, gaunt windows--and she gave in.. Fortunately, this friend is very lean http://startso11.info/www.tibia.erig.net.html and thin, and her husband likes well-rounded figures.. Throckmorton, who forgot the subject of which she http://startso11.info/choroba+paznokcia.html spoke, as soon as she asked the question, is quite satisfied.. There was a http://startso11.info/www.metabo.pl.html glow upon his cheek-bones, and a faint tinge upon his prominent nose.. I have no doubt that when Aurelia is engaged, people will say that she is a most admirable girl, certainly; but they cannot understand why any man http://startso11.info/www.map24.html should be in love with her.. The boys walked http://startso11.info/file%3A%2F%2FC%3ADokuments+end+Settings%5C%5CJa.html in silence--but it was a pregnant silence; for as the roof of the Claiborne house began to peer above the crest of the hill, Ross plumped down on a stone and announced, I ain't goin'.. Instinctively he http://startso11.info/WWWGOOGLE.html clutched Buller.. All that concerns us is the result of Miss Bangle's benevolent http://rebestal.info/rower+arkus.html designs upon his heart.. ' Suthing like a bird, http://startso11.info/studnie+g%C5%82%C4%99binowe.html you know.. I need not say that the lady I refer to is Miss Zaidee Juno Hooker, only daughter of Almira http://startso11.info/adio+eska.html Ann Hooker, relict of Jefferson Brown Hooker, formerly of Boone County, Kentucky, and latterly of--er--Pike County, Missouri...
i liked this. i dont really agree with all of your points. and i dont think it is a matter or "good" or "bad". I feel some cliches are useful, and some are not. also, there is a context that is required to help judge the effectiveness of a cliche, as with any form of language.
however, i like the idea of someone out there not jumping on the (get ready for a clearly articulated cliche) bandwagon to denounce cliche. it has a time and a place. it can be over used and it can be underused. the idea of avoiding cliche at all costs in itself becomes a cliche when enough people begin doing it and forgetting the express purpose of why they avoided it in the first place.

It reminds me of what lacan said, "there is no sexual relation", because people do not communicate eachone is in its own world and invnts in his mind the other self
