cliche

I'd like to know if cliche is a positive or negative word.

Please tell me if you know.

Thank you so much.

Cliches are literarily boring, but essential for rapid daily conversation. Many language exercises teach them, many students hear or read and ask about them, many writing teachers eschew them. Whether they are positive or negative depends upon context.
