At de end of de day

luckat

Is this phrase actually mandatory in radio and TV interviews? If not, can it be bleeped out like any other bad language?

About 6 months ago there was a survey which found people are most annoyed by that phrase more than any other. I never thought of either positively or negatively before, didnt like or dislike it, but since hearing that I now hate when anyone says it.

****ing peer pressure.....

It buys the interviewee valuable time to, as I said before, all credit to the interviewer, think of an answer!

Was it Dave O leary who made that one mainstream?

I worked with a guy a few years back who completely overused this phrase (several times in one sentence usually) and these days it always gives me the urge to strangle anyone who says it with a cheesewire.

No dear, it wasn't. T'was a different job. I don't think you ever overused one phrase too much, they were all fairly random!

How about people who say "Basically" and then proceed to give anything but a basic explanation?

"at the end of the day"reached its peak summer before last especially the halfwits on Big Brother..using it to begin and end sentences and as often as possible in between.The amount of time Trinity students work the word "like" into sentences is incredible.."I was like,she was like,it was like..oh my GOD!" i heard one saying,**** knows what she was talking about!

biko

I've only really heard sports commentators saying it.
Don't bother me tbh

You should have a conversation with Roy Keane, every second sentence contains one of the above. Who's gonna pull him up on it though

He's a dead-eyed brain donor,just like pretty much all footballers.

At the end of the day, how can we progress this thread going forward?











By locking it!

At the end of the day is very annoying yes. I also hate the Cork use of 'like' because of how it catches on. In 1st year of college there was a boy from Cork who used it compulsively and then everybody started doing it, I'm sure at one point there were a few Malaysians going around with west cork intonations in their voices.
I also have a tutor with an American Mid-West accent, and in tutorials he walks around the room looking over your shoulder saying "cmon, think outside of the box, pal". That just drives me crazy. There is no box! I am not your pal!

Personally, I prefer "as it were" as a conversational crutch. Sounds less common than "you know what I mean".

mikemac

Next time you see a Tipperary hurler (unlikely you'll see a Tipp football player) being interviewed on TV, count how many times they say"you know"

A lot if not most use it with every second sentance. Sounds absolutly terrible on TV or radio

It's an afflication for us Tipp people:(
