- isn't it actually onomatopoeic for 'click'? This twatter leaves out a keyword: 'Stereotype' (type cast into one solid piece of metal - a printing plate).PonyBoy
- Originally the 'clicking' sound made by the plate hitting the paper was referred to as 'cliche' by the french... the brits used the term for printing also...PonyBoy
- ... and eventually repurposed it w/new meaning based on the result of the clicking sound (the reproduced page) so the term 'cliche' AND 'stereotype' found...PonyBoy
- ... common meaning... and are now overused—dare I say 'cliche'?— terms used in modern smug language.PonyBoy

- Well shit, I stand corrected. It dates back to 1460, from CLIC... which is an onomatopoeic word for the sound of, er, well clicking.zarkonite
