It's just a trite thing to say. You hear it all the time and so it loses all its meaning. Actually it has created a new meaning. It's like saying "Hey, I can't think of one original thing to say!" Some examples of cliche things to say would be:
Another day, another dollar
Drink plenty of water, and stay safe!
Oh, I hope nobody got hurt
Listen, baby, you know I love you...but
I gotta go to the courthouse tomorrow...
Hey, I do it for the customers (yeah right)
Well, I love working with others and....
You know what? Even saying "Thats soo cliche" Is cliche! I can't stand it!!

A Cliché is a Phrase that is used excessively and has become a bit meaningless and even irritating.
SAMPLE CLICHES:
Always look on the bright sight of life
To be or not to be
Live and learn
Live and let live
C'est la vie
Que sera, sera
What goes around comes around
Don't worry, be happy!

Cliche is a French word. It just means its an over said statement. For example the line "they lived happily ever after" is cliche. I hope you understand.

They saying isn't 'that's so cliche' is is 'that is so cliched'. Or is you use it as a singular 'that is such a cliche'.

in the dictionary its described as....
1. a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse, as sadder but wiser, or strong as an ox.
2. (in art, literature, drama, etc.) a trite or hackneyed plot, character development, use of color, musical expression, etc.
3. anything that has become trite or commonplace through overuse.

A cliche is something that has been said so much it's been overdone.
