Hi,
about the theme
I can't find what does it mean cliche / cliches
what I had found is cliche written cliche'
"an expression or idea that is no longer effective because of overuse".
Is it this , what sense does it make?

Hi Jan,

You're right the word is cliche with an accent on the final 'e' and it means an expression that is used so much that in the end it loses its real meaning.
