| Front | Bromide (noun) |
|---|---|
| Back | A platitude or trite saying Bromide originally referred to a sedative, specifically, a chemical compound of bromine and another metal. Of course, sedatives deaden and dull the senses, leading to the more figurative meaning of bromide: trite sayings that have become so overused they deaden our senses. |
