Actually, that's a cliche' which is an overused term for lazy thinkers most of the time. Just like "that dog don't hunt."

Cliche known as a "Momism" - similar to when your mother says "If you fall out of that tree and break your arm, I'll kill you."

In addition to a cliche, it could be a figure of speech.
