What is the most overused cliche, and how can these get in the way of critical thinking

English

Cliches like "in the nick of time", "throughout history", "in this day and age", "little did i know" and "good things come to those who wait" are some of the most overused and annoying cliches. Cliches are usually not acceptable in academic writing because of a few factors:

1. Cliches sometimes make you seem boring. When using a cliche, you are giving the reader the impression that you lack originality, which will make them want to stop reading your paper.

2. Cliches make you seem lazy. The reader will just assume that you do not want to put your mind to something and be creative.

3. Cliches make you lose credibility. The person reading your paper will not trust you as a valid source if you cannot come up with a better description than a cliche.

4. Cliches cannot be used as actual evidence. Because cliches are not specific, they do not offer strong enough commentary to prove your point.

To conclude, cliches are overused and will not help you in any way while writing a paper.

Hope this helps:)
