A cliche is an overused, wornout expression
How do you fix a cliche?

1) Eliminate it.
2) Try to express the same thought with different, more original words.
3) Be more specific. Many of the cliches above are very nonspecific. What qualities made the weather perfect? Why was the moment unforgettable?
A fuzzy intensifier is a word such as so, very, or truly that is meant to give emphasis but in actuality doesn't make a clear distinction. The way to fix them is to either remove them or give a clear, precise description to that we understand just how fast very fast is.
