I often find myself at a shortage of words to properly describe my thoughts. Usually, I just use the "Define" function on Google. However, Google can't provide synonyms for for idioms/sayings such as this.

Anyway, I'm looking for another way to say "it's been said time and time again".

ad-nauseam

My weekend will consist of hearing ad nauseam what a perfect life my older sister, Monica, has with her perfect husband, perfect children and perfect house

The Latin expression ad nauseam means "to the point of nausea", where one (perhaps metaphorically) feels physically sick from hearing it over and over again.
