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.

I think what is worse are politicians using sports analogies all the time. That needs to be banded.

"Make no mistake".

Meaning - pay particular attention to what I'm about to say. Usually followed by some banal conventional wisdom b.s.
