[pedant break]

trite
adj., trit·er, trit·est.
1. Lacking power to evoke interest through overuse or repetition; hackneyed.
2. Archaic. Frayed or worn out by use.
[Latin tritus, from past participle of terere, to wear out.]

Trite does not mean "not true." Generally, true statements, especially those which most people agree with, tend to be "trite."
