Cliche'

C L I C H E'

n. A trite or obvious remark. 

I was reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I happen to shout it out on my Facebook account, when a friend of mine commented saying the book was too cliche for his type.

I agree, the way it was written was such a cliche, but I think it is good cliche. 

1. a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse, as sadder but wiser, or strong as an ox.

2. (in art, literature, drama, etc.) a trite or hackneyed plot, character development, use of color, musical expression, etc.

3. anything that has become trite or commonplace through overuse.
