Why Overused Cliches Weaken Written Prose: Cliches are figures of speech or idioms that have lost their original creative impact through excessive repetition (e.g., "at the end of the day", "think outside the box", or "a double-edged sword"). Relying on cliches signals lazy writing, bores readers, and reduces the persuasive power of academic papers, novels, and marketing copy.
