Templatic
A commonly used word by complete morons who pose as professionals and think by turning a noun into an adjective and using it before another word they will sound like they know what they are talking about. This is in fact a flimsy defense mechanism these ignorant twats incorporate to argue their case with the professional, who surprisingly does have a clue what they are talking about.

Professional: "Could you show me some examples of creative stationary designs by some of your favourite designers so I can get an idea of the style that you like?"

Complete moron: "I really like these designs: 'web address';

the designs in general but particularly the templatic stationary."

past cases, statistics, personal assumptions, public opinion, hunches and other factors and then persued as such without objectivity or taking into account that although seeming similar the scenario may not be identical.

The police used a crime template to determine that when a child is killed in the home it's always the parents that are the killers due to statistics.
