Letter C

  • Cliche  —  That which someone may refer to as a cliche is any word or expression which is considered to be over-used — and therefore — no-longer holds the value that it may have had in the past.  Or — the cliche word or phrase may just be considered “kind of stupid”.  Therefore — using the word “Cliche” is an expression of opinion.
    .

    For Example:  In a job interview — saying that one is “a Team-Player”.  Since nearly everyone says that — it no longer holds any value as a truthful statement and may make the one saying it seem like they are not very creative.  (Even if it is true.)
