No one is allowed to say “At the end of the day” anymore unless they mean it literally.  Starting right now.  I’ve had it with this tired catch-phrase.

If you find you’re lost without it, try bringing back the venerable old cliche it replaced:  “When all is said and done.”  I’ll temporarily allow free use of that old chestnut if it helps you get over the “end of the day” one.  Think of “When all is said and done” as methadone helping you get off the heroin of “at the end of the day.”

That is all.
