I said this in a presentation on Monday.
When I said it, I kept talking, but I thought, where did that come from? Who says that? And why?
I knew it was a cliche that means from start to finish.
- I didn’t know – until I looked it up – that it comes from the early 20th century.
- Nor did I know if my 20-year-old audience even knew what it meant.
Thought bubble ðŸ’: I wonder how many times I use cliches. Especially outdated ones my audience doesn’t understand.
I’m not sure. Are you?
We should work like dogs to avoid it.
