I demand to know!!!
What is the purpose of the quotation in this article? It only confuses the reader. 05:47 2007 Feb 3 (UTC}
I'm also having trouble with: Cliché often refers to concepts or ideas that are overused despite not really reflecting reality, expressing a kind of self-reproducing prejudice. Anyone care to explain that, and offer example? --NathanHawking 00:18, 2004 Oct 24 (UTC) Very true. Isn't the horror movie cliché of the hero believing they just killed the monster, only for it to come back for one last scare, a better example than the sequel thing?
The author used the phrase 'avoid it like the plague.' Isn't that itself a cliche?
Uh, yeah. That's why he italicized it. He's being funny.
Some Cliche have been used again and again so often, out of their original contex, what they have lost their meaning. They are used because it seems the right thing to do. Those who DO know what the cliche meant originally can't be sure that the people using it KNOW what they are using even when used in its original context. Corrupt one 03:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
