"At the end of the day" is one of those sayings that people like to say upon summing up an argument, presentation or point. They mean to make their point, but they have to put a lot of stuff in there first. Like "blah blah blah but at the end of the day, it's all the same."
So why not just say "It's all the same?" instead of putting that disclaimer in there? It is like, "when all is said and done" which to me would be self-evident and therefore stating the obvious. "At the end of the day, no matter what happens, we're still yada yada yada." It gets me thinking about some of the other sayings we have. Like "so, in wrapping up I just want to say" which means someone is not wrapping up at all, they are just getting started.
The thing is, I have not written my exercises for a few days because the weather has been so cool and beautiful and any spare time I have has been spent walking the dogs and playing with them outside. So I am trying to make up the time by writing inane things like this. But the thing is, I have spent more time with my dogs and, at the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about?
