old bones as synechdoche is cliche. Try "jump over a fence old bones" "have a cup of tea old bones" - no hits, it is not the sleeping, it is the synechdoche.

hey look!! A dolly Parton song!@

If "sleep now old bones" is cliche then shouldn't it be repeated ad nauseum and prevalent in past dis course?

Can a phrase be both a synecdoche and a cliche?
