2. (From the intermediate sense of, Open to the use of all the community): Commonplace, common, trite; trivial, petty.
[1837 Athenæum No. 504. 453 These bannales personages are ‘much of a muchness.’]
1840 New Monthly Mag. 59 458 All that her late companions can draw from her is the banal declaration, that she ‘never knew what happiness was before’.
1864 N. & Q. 3rd Ser. 6 480 Facetious fools‥set up the banal laugh.
