warmed-over
Trite and recycled
Warmed-over describes food that has been reheated, often with the implication that it's lost freshness or appeal.
The figurative sense dominates: warmed-over ideas, arguments, or proposals are stale rehashes of what came before, lacking originality: The speech was just warmed-over campaign promises.
Also spelled warmed over.
