A platitude is a statement or phrase that is overused and lacks originality, often to the point of being trivial or cliché. Platitudes are typically expressions of commonplace ideas or sentiments that may be intended to convey a moral lesson or reassurance but often fail to provide meaningful insight or depth. Because they are commonly heard and often repeated, they can come across as insincere or superficial when used in conversation.
