tritest
Maximally worn out
Tritest is the superlative form of trite—the most stale, overused, or hackneyed.
What's tritest has been repeated so often it has lost all freshness or originality: It's the tritest saying in sports, but there's no "I" in team.
Even the tritest clichés sometimes contain truth.
