Remember the old one - "Take us to your leader". Now that phrase is not used at all by anyone because it is probably the worst cliché you can use. My point is, because it is not used, how can it be a cliché?

There are many others like this but I can't be bothered to think of them. So, when are we allowed to use the phrase again without it being a cliché?

A bit of nonsense for yer. ;)

Surely "Let's get outta here!" is more over-used than "Take me to your leader", which only has limited application in alien-earthling interactions...
