This is also called a stereotype. When letters were set one at a time, it made sense to cast a phrase used repeatedly as a single slug of metal. “<b>Cliché</b>” came to mean such a ready-made phrase. The French word “<b>cliché</b>” comes from the sound made when the matrix is dropped into molten metal to make a printing plate.</blockquote> <p>His secret weapon on how to use clichés:</p> <blockquote>The effective way to use a cliché is to point to it and then do precisely the opposite. Juxtapose the cliché with the unexpected truth of what you have to offer. …. I often use the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Cliches-James-Rogers/dp/0345338146">Encyclopedia of Clichés</a> to find clichés that then inspire opposites.</blockquote> <p>Hear the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6594276">sound of stereotypes</a>, a 1949 Number Four VanderCook Proof Printing Press in particular.</p> </blockquote>http://trainque.org/post/405670996http://trainque.org/post/405670996Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:01:53 -0500
