I've noticed that the term "at the end of the day" is fading

[SHRED]

And I couldn't be happier.


The bad news is that the word "literally" is now being used unnecessarily and ad nauseam.

[Liberal Veteran]

1. At the end of the day, all phrases have their ups and downs, literally.

Know what I mean? <- the phrase that drives me up a wall.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Good; I've been tired of it for a long time.

[BlueJazz]

3. One that is starting to gain speed is "and the facts of the matter are.."

(At least, here in Florida) Several people have mentioned that one.. Yuck!

[Arugula Latte]

4. A phrase I've noticed slipping into my teen kids' speech lately:

"Yeah ya do!" ... To emphasize ... anything.

[lastlib]

5. Hopefully, someday people will learn how to start a sentence......

...WITHOUT the word "hopefully"!!



Irks the jeezus out of me!

[lastlib]

6. At the end of the day, it's best to let cliches just die.....

....a painful death.

[SHRED]

7. "surreal"

That's another one.

[irisblue]

8. "touch base with you"

needs to be struck out.... never like that one (Looking at you Dr. Long)

[Wolf Frankula]

9. At the end of the day

it's night.

10. I saw "at the end of the day" used in an interview on CNN just this morning

And it was the DNC Chair who said it.

[a kennedy]

11. and "moving forward".......ugh, so happy haven't heard that as much as in it's hey day..... eom

[ailsagirl]

13. I don't use "moving forward" because I don't like it

People used to say, "from here on out," which I still say and which I think sounds much better. IMO.

What about "ramp it up?"

[Amishman]

12. At the end of the day you're another day older

And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
It's a struggle, it's a war
And there's nothing that anyone's giving
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living.

At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don't hear the little ones crying
And the plague is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!

At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There's gonna be hell to pay
At the end of the day!

[Sentath]

14. I'm not sure my days end

I just give up and walk away from them at some point.

[Blue_Tires]

15. You must literally believe you get to police the English language or something...

[SHRED]

16. I know...it's so surreal.

[Special Prosciuto]

17. Maybe people are starting to "think outside of the box." nt

[csziggy]

18. I wish they would stop using "at the turn of the century"

When they are talking about 1900/1901! People, it's fifteen years into THIS century. "Turn of the century" without a specifier should be referring to 2000/2001.

[XRubicon]

19. I hate when people say "So? I had a little diarrhea..."

Trite. I hear it all the time.

[eppur_se_muova]

20. Hopefully, the sun is setting on that particular expression. nt
