Get the Cliche mug.
A concept a depressed person likes to use to decribe their lack of joy for life and anything in it. A concept to keep you buying more and more products and to keep searching for endless thrills till you end up an empty shell; till you have nothing more to enjoy because.... well... everything is so cliche. Like the word narcissist it is over used to encompass everything.
