Ban this phrase from your vocabulary:
“At the end of the day.”
In the past year, this phrase has become every politician’s favorite verbal puncuation mark.
It just makes you all sound like fake Raymond Chandler characters. Stop it.
"at the end of the day" is one of those corporate-speak phrases that bugs the hell out of me at work.
EOB (or the moderately better spelled-out version, "End of Business") is pretty annoying too. But maybe we should take this conversation offline and focus on the key takeaways here.
Oh gawd, I've been trying to break myself of that one.
I think what is worse are politicians using sports analogies all the time. That needs to be banded.
Oh, lord I thought ours was the only office that did the horrible online offline thing.
See also: I'd like to download with you about yesterday's meeting.
"Pocketbook" too. In real life, who says that something is good for their pocketbook?
lenny bruce.
My peeve? Describing any problem from a minor issue to a fiasco as a "perfect storm". Damn that movie to Hell!
em @2 - hA! let's document our learnings.
"Make no mistake".
Meaning - pay particular attention to what I'm about to say. Usually followed by some banal conventional wisdom b.s.
This phrase must be banned from the political lexicon.
Death, also, to: "bottom line," "quite frankly," "no problem."
