"At the end of the day" has zoomed by the misuse of "literally" as my current most annoying language trend.

Going forward, can we literally stop using "end of the day" as a phrase?

Really? I don't recall hearing people say that a lot. I'll have to keep an ear out.

I wonder if it is partially specific to my location or my work. Customers and coworkers alike are spouting facebook wisdom like "Yeah, but at the end of the day, you have to take care of you and yours." It's a figurative plague.

I'd like to watch the football game but I'm not sure all the concerts before hand and touching interviews will ever end. Hell they haven't even jerked off the veterans yet and know the NFL can't resist a good old veteran jerk fest. Maybe it will start by 10.
