Scribe of wisdom

Hackneyed

>Lacking in freshness or originality

>A hackneyed phrase or idea has been said or used so often that it has become boring and has no meaning

>If you describe something such as a saying or an image as hackneyed, you think it is no longer likely to interest, amuse or affect people because it has been used, seen, or heard many times before.

Example

> The hackneyed script has the effect of lending an unmerited nobility to the politicians and bureaucrats onscreen
> The plot of the film is just a hackneyed boy-meets-girl scenario.
> The hackneyed images in his poetry failed to draw attention of the readers
