Well it sounds like it's Slang, because it's a phrase not meant to be taken literally..
But I'm looking up the definitions to the other words to make sure there isn't a better fit.

anonymous · Answer

It's not a vague phrase, because it's clear on what it's stating, and it's not trite. (overused)
Stilted is just a term of stiff, or something structured. 
None of the other words really fit, so I would go with slang.

Thank you what do you think about this one?
The party was very nice.

Is it the same choices?

sambam · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

I would say it could be trite, because the phrase, ( _____is very nice.) tends to be overused.

sambam · Answer

Its not tride what else can it be @Zezzy ?

anonymous · Answer

Okay then it would be Vague,... sorry. X3 I was debating which of the two it could be.

sambam · Answer

What would you put for 
The performance was rockin'!

anonymous · Answer

That sounds like Trite. Overused, lacking originality...

sambam · Answer

I tried trite and it wasnt correct. @Zezzy

anonymous · Answer

Really? o.O ..Hmm,... 
Well it's not slang, and it's not Trite.

anonymous · Answer

It is a very vague phrase... lol

sambam · Answer

so vague?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah that would be my next guess.. x3

sambam · Answer

What would you do on this one?
Boy, it's as hot as a firecracker out here! I'll just have to bite the bullet and deal with it.

anonymous · Answer

I would also say slang, because you don't literally "bite the bullet".

sambam · Answer

Okay last one 
I thought the show was great. That third act sure was interesting but it was pretty long.
                                          -----                                             --------                      ---------

anonymous · Answer

That one is kind of dificult, because none of the four words really stick out to me as the answer....

anonymous · Answer

I would say maybe Stilted? ... Because it seems a bit awkward/unnatural of a phrase.

sambam · Answer

I tried that and it was wrong. Any other choices?

anonymous · Answer

Then I would try Trite.

anonymous · Answer

I feel like I'm saying that one a lot.... lol.

sambam · Answer

thank you.

sambam · Answer

for all your help

anonymous · Answer

No Problem. :3
