Prosaism is a term that refers to the use of commonplace or unremarkable language which lacks originality, creativity or imagination. There are several synonyms for this word such as banality, triteness, platitudinousness, vulgarity, insipidity, and blandness. These synonyms are often used to describe uninspired writing that lacks depth, complexity, and emotion. They also describe the use of cliches, overused expressions, and tired phrases that do not add anything new or meaningful to the text. While some writers use prosaic language intentionally, it is generally considered less effective than more creative and expressive writing styles.
