Ding, ding, ding, ding! Duper wins!

Everyone came up with a bunch of good alternatives though! Now, thanks to you guys, I'll keep hearing all those OTHER phrases now! Thanks loads!

But I SWEAR, I keep hearing "at the end of the day" mixed or sprinkled into their little speeches far MORE than any other asinine tripe that comes out of their mouths! Anyone agree? Almost makes you want to wring their necks whenever you hear them say it!

I heard someone complaining about this today. lol... maybe next time I should say "If you're tired of hearing it, then quit watching the garbage that is mainstream 'news'" :)

\"At the end of the day.\"

Wwooooow. I NEVER watch the polititions babble, but when I happen to hear it for 1 second while channel surfing, I sometimes hear that.

Tunnelcat · Post by **Tunnelcat** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:48 pm

I swear every time ANY politician gets on the tube or radio, I hear that damned oral crutch! Heard it 3 times just on the news yesterday, once from my own pipsqueak Senator Wyden. Come to think of it, EVERY time he blithers, it comes out of his mouth at least ONCE!

Foil · Post by **Foil** » Wed Dec 09, 2009 9:10 am

I had to laugh when I heard a local radio d.j. use it twice yesterday.

I even heard a coworker use it recently. That phrase is certainly making its way into our language.

BTW, what happened to the older similar phrases, like, \"when all is said and done\"?

The statement alone does not give any time frame for completion where as "at the end of the day" does...

Also note the statement subtly implies a workday.

This is just a trite expression with a layman hook on the end of it for the working class

Oh, another one, not so much politicians but still overused - the thing about 2012 being the end of the world. Seriously, it's not funny any more. (If it ever was...)

Tunnelcat · Post by **Tunnelcat** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 2:48 pm

Oh, no, there's a NEW buzz phrase spreading with the most recent health care bill idea. I've heard this 3 times now in the past 2 days.

\"The camel's nose is under the tent\"

or other slight versions thereof. They're using it in reference to creeping incrimentalism and lowering the age for Medicare enrollment.
