This phrase ought to be banned.....

[PaceAdvantage]

If I hear another business person or politician use this phrase again, I'm going to have a fit (and I won't have long to wait.....)


AT THE END OF THE DAY.....


How many times are we going to have to hear this phrase uttered in public these days? It is getting unbearable....

[riskman]

If they ended the phrase with ,

"I will go away"

That would make my day!

"...the bottom line is...blah, blah, blah"

[Pell Mell]

It's almost as bad as "The Fact of the Matter" or is the fact of the matter at the end of the day?

[Pell Mell]

A Democrat quote, "The fact of the matter is that at the end of the day, the bottom line is, we suck".:rolleyes:

[Pell Mell]

On the other hand, maybe we should just "MOVE FORWARD".:lol:

Any use of the words 'synergy' or 'paradigm' is an automatic disqualifier from having the slightest clue about anything.

If someone uses BOTH in a sentence, i.e. "We must synchronize our synergies so as to effect a paradigm shift"...well, I am not a violent man, but I would vote 'Not Guilty' if I were on the jury trying whoever knocked them out!

... or the word " Change " . They promise us " Change " . Am I missing something or has anything ever really changed ??

[rastajenk]

I guess it's catchier than "Evolve."

Vote Obama, and after the tax cut is rolled back, and every other tax humanly (and inhumanly) imaginable is implemented, all you will have is:

Spare Change!

Here's the deal, we should draw a line in the sand on this phrase and, my friends, my fellow Americans, you are either with us or against us here.

[InControlX]

A few more...

"Basically..."

"That said, ..."

"Grass Roots"

"Ecclectic"

and the ever present teenager ones:

"Like..."

"You know,"

How about a set of Bingo cards made up (like the "Buzzword Bingo TV commercial) with all the suggested key words and phrases in this thread, we each get one, start a pool, and score off the other posts?

i always think of Bull Durham when subjects like this come up. because you know somewhere Bushy and all these other politicians have someone feeding them stock lines.

When push comes to shove, and all the chips are on the table, it's Katie bar the door before the horse has left the barn, or else, you know, it is what it is.

You mean like "Let's grab the bull by the horns and chew the fat. Let's see who's all hat and no cattle."

yada yada yada can go

After LBJ, I never believe anything that follows "my fellow americans"

What's wrong with "AT THE END OF THE DAY..... ?


It is what it is. :D
