Best Answer

A cliche is a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse. For example:

"He was as strong as an ox".

A sample sentence using the word cliche:

"To say he was as strong as an ox would be a cliche."

The cliche was so tediously overused that it lost its effectiveness.

cli·ché

cli·ché [klee sháy]

(plural cli·chés)

noun

1. overused expression: a phrase or word that has lost its original effectiveness or power from overuse.

2. overused idea: an overused activity or notion.
