1.
devoid of freshness or originality; hackneyed; trite: a banal and sophomoric treatment of courage on the frontier.
Quotes:
This sounds almost banal, and in fact it has become banal, thanks to the frog-like perspective of Darwin and such like.-- Henry Miller, The Cosmological Eye, 1939
The banal fact of the existence of time, the confines that social life imposes on continuous time - a frontier around the abstract, a limit on the unknown - brings me back to myself.-- Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), translated by Richard Zenith, The Book of Disquiet, published in 2010
Origin:
Banal originally comes from the French word ban which referred to compulsory military service. Since this law applied to everyone, the word came to be associated with what was commonplace.
