I hate clichés..
Top of my list for a long time has been 'at the end of the day '. But it's just been knocked off top spot by 'the new normal'.
That's going to be around 'until the cows come home'

I like it when somebody says,
'I'll see if I can find a window.'
and I say, 'Look there's one over there!'

I like it when somebody says,
“Take a seat.”
And I walk off carrying a chair.
(I don’t think “Take a seat” is a cliche though? )

"One fell swoop".
What's that all about!!!!!
I think it probably means quickly or suddenly.

Shakespeare either coined the phrase, or gave it circulation, in Macbeth, 1605 - Link:
MACDUFF: [on hearing that his family and servants have all been killed]
All my pretty ones?
Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
At one fell swoop?
