Meaning: a place of disorder and chaos. Use examples. Rewrite 1: this place must be run by monkeys2 Rewrite 2: this is the Chucky Cheese for adults Rewrite 3: it’s like a fire drill run by Keystone Cops Rewrite 4: this reminds me of a kidn3 on a sugar buzzn4b
Comment: If you’ve never been to a Chucky Cheese, you ought to get to one. Kids run wild between dozens of games and tables full of pizza and birthday cakes. It’s the perfect example of a place in chaos, just what you need to rephrase this cliché.
More reading about clichés What I found when I googled “clichés”: • Grand List of Fantasy Clichés: “…like the SF list that inspired it, [this list] is intended only to list various clichés common to the fantasy genre.”
