you guys didn't get the memo? 3 week ago we reached a point of such design oversaturation that the leases ran out all on cliches. We are now free to use everything, anywhere, forever

don't forget adding silhouetted logos of other sites on the page.

One of my professors said that a cliché was used in french letterpress. it was a commonly used phrase, kept together for ease of reprinting.
i didn't much about that in the ref.dictionary page.
my 2 sense.

so let me get this straight, the cliches we have are:
web 2.0 reflection
lens flare
swirly lines
repeating background type
dripping paint
pixel icons
stencils
mention of daniel eatock
hosting by mediatemple
work displayed held by hand
Pac Man style type.
and 'BETA' logo!vector outlines
being canadian?? :)
avant garde extra bold
pink starburst
the colour gray...the thing is.. these things work - so thats why every one uses them which is why they are clichees.... so.. if you made a site including ALL of these... youd be sitting on solid gold??? right?
