Tourist Cliches You Should Leave Home

Being a tourist is an innately clichéd experience -- you roam around a foreign city, toting a giant camera, posing for awkward photos and wearing one of those I heart (insert city name here) t-shirts.

There are plenty of clichéd things you can say, too -- from corny jokes, to puns, to phrases we've heard thousands of time.

Whether you think they're clever or classless, check out the ones we rounded up.

Found on t-shirts, shot glasses and all kinds of other tourist swag, "Czech Me Out" is a favorite play on words in the Prague souvenir industry.

A movie reference that has become a cliché in its own right. We know you love "Anchorman", but please don't name your San Diego vacay Facebook album "Stay Classy, San Diego." Same goes for New York and "Empire State of Mind."
