"Oh how the mighty have fallen"
When Mr.Tangen told us that most of the modern American cliche's come from the KJV Bible, I believed him because well, he is the teacher. However, up to this point I hadn't recognized any modern cliche's. Samuel 1:25 "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan thou wast slain in thine high places." Finally a known cliche. It's also weird that all these modern cliches come from the Bible. It's weird because of the different contexts in which they appear, and it's just weird to hear that phrase in the Bible.

Please share this with the class when you come back. FYI it's not just America, it embraces all of the former UK colonies.
