I'll be happy to check over your rewritten sentence.
Since we had worked like humans for 8 hours, we finally put a lid on it at 6:00 p.m.
To rewrite the sentence and replace the clichés, you can say:
"After working diligently for eight hours, we finally finished our tasks and called it a day at 6:00 p.m."
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Identify the clichés in the sentence. In this case, the clichés are "worked like dogs" and "put a lid on it."
2. Think of alternative expressions that convey the same meaning but without using the clichés. For "worked like dogs," you can use "worked diligently" or "worked tirelessly." For "put a lid on it," you can use "finished our tasks" or "called it a day."
3. Combine the alternative expressions with the rest of the sentence to create a new, more creative or straightforward version.
