the common speech of our time. He communicates the actual quality of his experience with a subtlety and precision unapproachable by any other means. Felix Dennis has written a beautiful poem on clichés. What are Clichés, Platitudes, Euphemisms, and other worn-out expressions? A cliché is a platitude which is simply a truth repeated until people get tired of hearing it but not using it! It has been rightly said that a cliché is not a cliché if you have never heard it before.
