- exporectomy 6y agoWhat's wrong with that? Because the phrase is itself a cliché or using cliché as an adjective?
- oneeyedpigeon 6y agoYes, because "cliché" is a noun and "clichéd" the adjective. It's like saying "that's so age" instead of "that's so old" — it just sounds really jarring and unprofessional.
