Cliché
- A cliché … is a phrase, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially when at some time it was considered distinctively forceful or novel. The term is generally used in a negative context. -

I was looking to see if the words hokey and corny are words, they appear to be words and acceptable to use, and more accurate and of more value than words like,

Crisis
Epidemic
Pandemic
War
AIDS or SIDA in French and Spanish



Crisis

I have decided to have fun with these words; I am making a collection of words that I am calling Worthless Words. These are words that have no meaning; however, there is now value in the words. If I read or hear the word,
- Crisis -

I know the Article I am reading is attempting to become worthless, the writer or organization start get my little ticks next to their names. The use of worthless words slowly evolves until the person or organizations using the words are also worthless.

There are writers who are credible, however they are ignored because of they refuse to use these words. I also realize, I have used these words in the past and this is a learning experience. I can start to apply some critical reasoning to my own selection of words.

I ask a girl two weeks ago,
- How many people die from AIDS. -
- Many. -

I say tell me the name of one person.
Two week later and she still cannot tell me one name.

I said,
- How many people are killed by the government? -
- Many -
I say,
- Tell me the name of one specific person. -
She thinks and then about one half hour later says,
- I know, but why do you want to know? -

I said,
- You know one name. -
She says,
- Two. -

I say,
- Ok, I understand, do not tell me. -
