To Be Fair At The End Of The Day
Cliques I am sick of:
1/ To be fair.
2/ At the end of the day.
3/ Yeah, Nah (yes, no)
Have you too had enough of these remarks that politicians down the chain say so often.
Quite often there is no need to be fair or fairness is not the object. Its simply filling a one dimensional gap.
Surely there are alternative words or an alternative word to mean "at the end of the day".
A written social clique like on Neighbourly or in Facebook that I find is often most likely untrue is:
1/ LOL (laugh out loud)
2/ Just saying.
LOL is often used at the end of a comment to lighten the effects of the comment or make out that the comment is not serious and is a way to hide behind the real intent of the comment.
"Just saying" is mostly not just saying but fully meaning in concrete terms what the just saying person has written.
There are other social cliques and excusing words I am sure.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
