Applause

When I worked at the newspaper and we were sent to cover a meeting or perhaps a speech by someone, we had developed a kind of unofficial competition for how many times people used certain clichés. Some that were so overused as to mean almost nothing, like "re-invent the wheel," were worth more points. People who covered Chamber of Commerce-type events usually won; business folk are excellent cliché wielders.

However, designer Duncan Fitzsimmons of London actually did re-invent the wheel, or at least refine it a little bit, to make a detachable wheelchair wheel that also collapses down into a smaller space. This allows wheelchair users to enjoy the greater leverage larger wheels provide but still store the pieces of their chair in a relatively small space, such as an overhead bin in an airplane.

Looks like he was really thinking outside of the box on that one.
