Normally we try to avoid clichés, but their use can befuddle English language learners. On Cliché Finder you can enter a term (for example, “dog”) and the program will call up matching clichés from its database of over 3300 expressions that you can discuss with your students:
you could talk a dog off a meat wagon
let a sleeping dog lie
it's a dog eat dog world
every dog has its day
work like a dog
Cliché Finder is available at http://www.westegg.com/cliché
