MrsBlue has gotten quite used to my grumbling over the ridiculous overuse of the
tired phrase "at the end of the day" whenever we hear it. This is pretty often,
as it has come into great favor in recent years for news stories and such, in
spite of the fact that it's one of those idioms that doesn't really make much
sense. She therefore thought of me immediately when she came across a
Mediabistro article tracking the use of such blather that shows that this
term is like the Babe Ruth of clichés, almost tripling the frequency of abuse of
the runner up "in the black." I guess "time and time again" the "unsung heroes"
of the press "level the playing field" by picking this "low hanging fruit" in a
refusal to "think outside the box."
