You're setting my teeth on edge: Cliches

While we smile politely in response to clichéd communication, what’s in our mind?

Several phrases that take the place of “He Died” – he passed away, he has passed, he met his Almighty – the ones that gloss over what really happens when someone dies. I do happen to like, “He’s not coming down for breakfast today….” ~ courtesy Julie
