Joyeuse Noëlle!Ever notice that most mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds with limbs have four of them? It's not a Law of Nature or anything, it's because one lobe-finned fish decided to crawl up onto land and IT had four limbs, and we're all descended from that one uppity fucker.

Jens Reuterberg"Cliché" and "Stereotype" both have their roots in printing. "Cliché" an onomatopoetic word based on the noise when a printblock squished and clicked against paper. A stereotype is the secondary or copied printblock used in printing instead of the original type-set.
