banal
의미: So lacking in originality as to be obvious and boring; unimaginatively commonplace.
Banal is a firmly critical word, stronger than 'mundane' in its condemnation. It implies not just ordinariness but a failure of imagination or intelligence. It is frequently applied to conversation, observations, entertainment, and public discourse. Hannah Arendt's phrase 'the banality of evil' gave the word a powerful philosophical dimension, describing how terrible acts can arise from thoughtless conformity.
