Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Cliche"

A: whatever the speaker is about to say might be ignored by the listener because the phrase is common enough that it could be considered a cliché (an overused stereotype). or it is similar sounding to a cliché.

however, the speaker is aware of this and is going to say it anyway.

example cliché: "every cloud has a silver lining"

A: This is a great quote, but it is difficult because it's a reference to an English expression that you might not know.

This has to do with the expression, "How do you look at yourself in the mirror?"

Which is a way of asking someone, "How can you be so terrible that you are fine with seeing your own face when you look in the mirror." or simply, "How can you be so horrible?"

So when he says "(it) better not involve my reflection", he means, "If you're going to criticize me, don't use that one cliché expression about looking in the mirror, because I feel no remorse about my actions."

We know that this is the correct interpretation because he also says, "I'm sleeping at night."
This comes from an identical expression, which is, "How do you sleep at night?"

Which means, "How could such a terrible person sleep peacefully at night?"

The character speaking is fully aware of these expressions and cliches. He is ultimately saying, "Alright, if you want to criticize me, do it. But, do know that I feel no remorse about my actions."

A: a cliché is actually a french word that means 'stereotype'
so when you say "It's so cliché" you are saying that it is something that is overused (repeated by many people/ non-original)

A: Cliche is something overused

Example:
"The scene where the action star walks away casually from explosions is sooo cliche, I'm sick of it!"

A: cliche means a phrase or action that is overused. for example if you were watching a romance movie and the storyline is the same as many other movies, you would say the movie is cliche, because the plot is boring and overused :)

A: The popular boy falls in love with the nerdy girl, such a cliche.

A: Noun:
That's such a cliché.
This movie has so many clichés.

Adjective:
This movie/situation is so clichéd.

A: Some people think that women should stay at home; such a cliché/cliche!

Cliche is actually a noun, but it is so commonly misused as an adjective that people probably notice won't if you use it as so.

The adjective form is technically "clichéd",,,

A: "Wow,that movie's ending was so cliche!"
"That was probably the most cliche thing I've ever heard"
"Could you get any more cliche?"

A: A Cliche is something (usually a trope) that's always overdone!
For example:
A childhood movie is about friendship, the main character says: "And we'll defeat you! Using the power of friendship!!"
That's a cliche, as it's so over used.

Another cliche is the:
"I can defeat you!"
"Yeah, you and what army?"
"This army!"
and the other characters show up to help the hero.
That is a cliche. As it's overdone.

A trope is something that's common in a genre! It's a recognizable theme / visual cue. For example, in romance movies in America there's always a rain scene or a chase scene. So if you see a clip of a movie with a rain scene, you might think it's a romance! As romance movies have that trope!

Or if you see a strong man with a cape, you would think it's a superhero movie! As it's a trope that superheros often have capes!

A: Cliche is like something (a phrase, an idea) that is overused. For example "The movie was okay but the ending where everything turned out to be a dream was kind of cliche." Cliche has a kind of negative meaning.
Commonplace often doesn't have the same negative meaning. For example "Paying with your phone instead of cash is now commonplace in China."
Platitude usually refers to an expression that is used too much. It is kind of like cliche but platitude is usually a piece of advice or something meant to advise you but doesn't really help.
For example: "When I failed my driving test again, my teacher told me "practice makes perfect!"" I need him to stop telling me platitudes and actually teach me how to drive."

A: Some example sentences would be:

"The idea of the prince saving the princess is so cliché and overused."

"The romance in this movie is way too cheesy!"

A: Lame means boring.

Cliché means overused to the point of having no value. It's negative because it makes it sound like you have no original thought or that you don't mean what you say.
