The stereotypical image of an Englishman is a male wearing a bowler hat, holding a copy of 'The Times' under one arm and carrying a rolled-up umbrella.
The stereotypical image of a Frenchman would be a male wearing a beret, carrying a baguette under his arm, and probably smoking a cigarette.
When it comes to words, then you could describe a stereotypical statement are being a cliche, a received idea, a banal, lazy judgement, such as "all blondes are dumb". In the first place the person making the statement has not and never will meet every blonde on the planet so he is not in a position to make that judgement and in the second place we all know that that is just a boring stereotypical statement without merit.
Guess what colour my hair is....and it's natural ...

U know the saying blondes are dumb and skannkie but thats not true some blondes are smart and well put together. Yeah they may seem dumb but they are not. I know some blondes that are very smart and intellectual. Sterotypiacal sterotype is when people don't have anything better to do in life but be dumb. Sometimes we don't understand that we are being hurtful to people that we are sterotyping.

People who are rich are happy.
People who are skinny are happy.
Women with big chests are happy and the best at making whoopie.
Men with large lets say hands are the best at the aforementioned whoopie making.
People who wear all the best clothes and drive the best cars and live in the most perfect houses and are beautiful, handsome and classy have no personal problems, in fact they have absolutely wonderful, perfect lives, the sort of lives that the rest of us can only ever dream about.

All teens are stupid (that one almost is true tho XD)
all "kids/teens/adolencense" are naive
everyone that wears black must be a goth
if you're a girl and you don't like the color pink you must want to be a boy
