"At the end of the day" seems to be an East Coast (NY area) phenomenon. When I first heard my New Yorker boss use that phrase, I actually thought he was speaking about the end of that business day. I had never heard it before out west.

If I hear Hannity say "let not your heart be troubled" one more time, I will scream.

Most incorrectly used (including on FR): "That begs the question..."Major pet peeve there. It's used instead of, "That raises the question..."
Even on FR, it's rarely used correctly.

The real most irritating phrase - "Hi. I'm John Kerry"

I've heard Hannity use "at the end of the day" over and over again in the same story.Agree ... especially in light of the fact it was the Clintonistas who used the term so frequently, back in the days when they were constantly spinning the latest Clinton debacle on TV.

"I want to make a difference"This is pure liberal speak. No matter what a person does, it makes a difference. It is absolutely meaningless statement. It makes liberals feel good. I like the conservative saying: "Words mean things." but I must add; only sometimes.

When all's said and done, it is a pretty annoying cliché

Or try
"I want to work with people."I'd rather work with animals, myself.

You are a cranky bunch. What you consider "cliche" is just a personal judgment of overuse or abuse. I look forward to a "good morning" every day from each of my friends and colleagues. If you consider that cliche, I consider you a sourpuss.
To: Redcloak
Annoying cliches just aren't my cup of tea.
To: sinkspur
The only thing more irritating than the phrase "at the end of the day" is the phrase "at the end of the day" coming out of McAwful's pie hole. It'll make you wanna slap your grandma!

Even more errant is the phrase, "I could care less."
If they could then why say so?
It should be, "I could NOT care less."

I wonder about some of the cliches in personal ads.
There are people living in Kansas who claim "long walks on the beach" as a favorite activity.
