Interpretation...is it valid critique?

[milo]

And quoting from a dictionary is terribly clichéd:


cli·ché
[klee-shey, kli-]
noun
1. a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular
or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long
overuse, such as 'sadder but wiser', or 'strong as an ox'.

3. anything that has become trite or commonplace through overuse.


ex·pres·sion
[ik-spresh-uhn]
noun
2. a particular word, phrase, or form of words: old-fashioned expressions.

Whatever your dictionary is, it is pretty poor. Yes, a word can be cliche through /usage/ but never through definition or identity.

Therefore, again, the word "twerk" along with any other word will never be cliche.
