I agree. I've been in this game 35 years, and it has been true most all that time. The examples in TFA are really all rather recent -- and frankly quite stupid (IMHO). Yak shaving is a thin reference to Ren and Stimpy, but requires complete explanation for it to make any sense; and, when it does, it's just dumb. If an analogy or metaphor requires much explanation, then it really isn't very good. It should 'click'. But, I go along with it, too. At least the new cliches replace the tired old Star Trek/Wars allusions. Let the new generation have their day.
