I know of no other similar body of work. There are lots of lists of cliches but no attempts to rework or recast cliches. I hope to return soon to rewriting and recasting cliches and compile everything into a book.

Would there be other works of this nature?
Like Dr Johnson worked on a Dictionary and there are many more today.
Would one need your permission to make use of your suggestions?
It's a swell idea ... ofcourse, it is we who benefit from your efforts.
You deserve much more than my mere words ... and sadly, I have none to offer in the evening of my life.
May be, others would be magnanimous than poor me,
