Cliches are unnecessary in business writing and used much to often. Cliches just add words to enhance meaning but the enhancement is perfectly expendable. Here are some of my favourite overused business cliches:
1. Thinking outside the box
2. Win-win situation
3. Low-hanging fruit
4. Going forward
5. Take it to the next level
6. Drop the ball
7. Bring our 'A' game
8. At the end of the day
9. Let's hit the ground running
10. 24/7
11. The bottom line
12. Ballpark figure
13. Putting lip-stick on a pig
14. Step up to the plate
15. Now more than ever
16. Gotta raise the bar
17. Perfect Storm
18. Elephant in the room
19. Team player
20. Throwing him under the bus
