This theme has already had at pentaxforums.com at least during the Weekly Challenge #158.
I can't help but quoting
RollsUp regarding this one.

"A cliché or cliche (pronounced UK: /ˈkliːʃeɪ/, US: /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, rendering it a stereotype, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel."
Some photography cliche examples might be, train tracks, your shadow, mirror portrait, illuminated mountain peaks, babies, homeless people, sunsets/sunrises, empty bench, insect on a flower, reflections, close up of red lips with a strawberry etc. etc. etc.
Looking forward to seeing your examples of photographic cliches.

This is supposed to be fun-related, so no need to hold off.
Tips and references:
the best reference so far would be
the mentioned Weekly Challenge #158.
(Photos for the Week #50 competition are to be taken between Jan 13, 2014 and Jan 19, 2014)
Rules
1. Anyone and everyone interested in challenge is eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-5 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.
