I've decided that one of my new favorite pastimes is updating cliches so that they still have the same meaning, but are set in more modern, applicable scenarios.
For example: everyone knows the old expression "a watched pot never boils." Referring to being impatient while wistfully hoping that something that you cannot control the speed of will somehow magically go faster if you eagle-eye it, when in fact, that makes it seem like it takes much longer. Oh, the irony.
Updated Cliche #1: A watched file never uploads.
Referring to when you are trying to upload a large file online, and you just stare at the upload bar, silently cheering it on to go faster. Sadly, a watched file never uploads.
Got an updated cliche of your own? Post it here!
Cheers,
daria
