Cliches Quotes
|
|
A cliché (from French, stereotype) is a phrase or expression, or the idea expressed by it, that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially where the same expression was at one time distinctively forceful or novel. By extension, "cliché" applies also to almost any situations, subjects, characterizations, or objects that have similarly become overly familiar or commonplace. As a result, many feel that they should be avoided like the plague.
The cliché quotes are the most famous quotes which have lost their importance in the English literature these days because of their over and redundant usages. These quotes, in the present day, have been replaced by certain smaller and more modern narrations.

For example, certain clichés which were most commonly used in the earlier times like, “busy as a bee”, “pretty as a picture”, and “hotter than hell” have become trite and dull because of overuse. Good writers avoid clichés through vivid and original phrasing.
