But so old that it's already been defined in at least one other language:
Una “ deepity” (che in italiano potremmo tradurre come “profonditezza”) è
una frase che appare essere intellettualmente profonda, ma in realtà, ad un
esame attento, si revela essere intellettualmente vuota, superficiale.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
