- In Russian, a 'common phrase' that is used too often to the point of being a cliché is called a заезженная фраза, which literally means a 'worn-out phrase' like an old road.
- If you were looking for 'common' in the sense of 'vulgar' or 'low-class' language, a Russian speaker might use the word просторечные instead of распространённые.
- The adjective распространённые is derived from the verb распространять, which literally means 'to spread' or 'to disseminate', much like how one would 'spread' butter or 'spread' news.
