It’s Wednesday and time to learn a new word!
You already know what word we are learning so let’s begin.
Platitude means the quality or state of being dull or insipid. It can also mean a banal, trite, or stale remark. Otherwise known as a cliche.
These are examples of platitudes.:
Everything happens for a reason
Every cloud has a silver lining.
But if you want to use platitude in a sentence You’d say something like:
At my uncle’s funeral, I heard one platitude after another.
Your platitude is meaningless and does nothing for my anger
Now that you know, we hope you can recognize a platitude and use the word properly when you need to
