Q) Analyse the use of Dead Metaphors in the speech.
Fluff Writing) “Metaphors, however, are like people: they get old, and they die. A dead metaphor is called a dead metaphor and, perhaps somewhat ironically, a dead metaphor is a dead metaphor; after all, a metaphor, being an abstract notion, is capable of experiencing only a figurative death, not having breath to be taken or life force to be snuffed out.”

Get the waiting beer mug."Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash," is something TV Dr. Phil McGraw's father said to him as a boy when he would voice wild plans or notions. It means that talk is cheap relative to performance, or that promising something and delivering on it are two different things. A phrase similar in meaning is "Money talks, bullshit walks."
