God am I sick of that "At the end of the day" cliche
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 06:59 AM by OneTwentyoNine
Shit,you can't turn on TV for five minutes without hearing that GD cliche. Seems like big money people and idiot TV pundits love it more than anyone else.

The part in Blazing Saddles where Harvey Korman shoots at the feet of a guy for using the "head em off at the pass" cliche is making more sense daily.

1. That one and "the fact of the matter is"

6. "We can maximize our synegies and create a paridigm shift ...
if we think outside the box."

That was actually said by an idiot middle management person at a meeting. We all just stared at him.

13. how about when a conservative gets asked a question
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 07:57 AM by SlavesandBulldozers
they say "Well look. . . <insert talking point>" its a way to completely ignore the question.

and it reinforces the powerful daddy role.

14. All that "Yup-Speak" is bullshit.
Ascertain, insightful, and all the other useless bullshit buzzwords.

At the End of the Day, I go to bed.

15. My Fave: "What He Really Meant To Say"
I love when someone decides they have the power to slip into someone else's head and suck their thoughts right out. LOL.

Another is "if I were a Democrat, I'd..." this is usually reserved for a Hannity or Novak or some real Repugnican scum...as though anyone with a rational bone in their body, and not on Hillbilly heroin, can see through.
