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.

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

      Arguably, not necessarily. Adages are not truisms.
