Idiom vs. Cliche
Cliches are phrases that have been overused to such an extent that they have lost their original impact when used in a sentence. A cliche can be an idiom, however, not all idioms are cliches.
A classic example of a cliche is using the phrase “There is plenty of fish in the sea” during a rejection or failure. These words tend to have zero impact during that situation.
