these need to go away now
* "at the end of the day" - specifically when used in a context that does not LITERALLY MEAN "at the termination of the current period we acknowledge as a day, be it the work day or sundown or midnight"
* "I threw up in my mouth a little" - just stop. this has ceased being funny.
* "it is what it is" - I get the concept being expressed, but whenever anyone uses this, they seem so dismissive
More to come...

"this is what it's all about"
As in the person who has lost something but looks lovingly at what they do have and says "This is what's really important. This is what it's all about."
Nope. Never is.
Ouch. Yeah. Which reminds me of another one:

You know what? It doesn't. Sorry. It's up to you to *derive* meaning from events...active, not passive.
