Such as “money can’t buy happiness” or “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. Generally a false adage or something like that. All I could think of was “fallacious bumper sticker” which just sounds stupid.

    Adage

    How has nobody said this yet? Some guy actually said idiom.

      Because an adage isn’t necessarily untrue, like the OP is asking.

        Arguably, not necessarily. Adages are not truisms.
