Stock Phrases are a line of dialogue which get repeated very often in different fictional works, but always carrying the same meaning each and every time they are used. In many cases, they will only be uttered in a specific situation, and often with the same exact words each time. In [[BetterThanABareBulb lampshade-heavy]] works, may be followed with "IAlwaysWantedToSayThat".

If the phrase is a signature line closely associated with a single character or specific work, it becomes their [[IndexOfCatchphrases catchphrase]].

Closely related to the StockParodies. When you've heard the entire ''conversation'' before, it may have degenerated into a ClicheStorm. See also StockQuotes, which can be attributed to a single source but get quoted over and over in the same way each time.

For "stock phrases" whose meaning is exclusive to Troper wiki culture, see the index of PredefinedMessages.
