"At the end of the day" has been around for a couple of years, and may be on its last legs, or it may be here to stay (yikes!). Perhaps if we all laugh whenever we hear it we can send it back where it came from. "It is what it is" arrived on the scene more recently. It's a statement that's impossible to argue with, but it does beg the question, "So what is it?" Or, as the woman in the restaurant put it, "Is it, what is it?" Thanks, Madalyn.
