    This document discusses clichés, which are overused phrases that have lost their original impact and freshness. Clichés began as phrases that were frequently used and cast into printing plates, becoming standardized. While clichés may sometimes be factually true, they act as barriers to effective communication by showing a lack of original thought. The document provides examples of common clichés and suggests ways to overcome relying on them, such as making sentences more clear and finding new ways to convey meanings instead of recycled phrases.
