Truth within Clichs: The Origins of Phrases and their Hidden Meanings.
This paper looks at the two forms of meaning found within clich¨¦s that deal with aspects of the body or the human being, where addressing components of the phrase and the origins of the phrase will demonstrate the etymology of a given clich¨¦. This process is applied to selected phrases that have passed into common use, and where the true origins of the phrase are no longer viewed in connection with the phrase itself. Three commonly used phrases - the battle of the bulge, dead wood, and devil's advocate -are used to express the truth found within the clich¨¦ itself and within its historical origins.
