  2. Cliché • A cliché is an expression or phrase used so often it becomes stale and loses meaning.

  3. Cliché • A cliché is a phrase or expression that is so overused that it becomes annoying. Most clichés begin life as very clever expressions. The first time around, they convey a distinct message in a very funny way—and that makes them repeatable. After too much use, however, they just become corny.
