Basically,

[smurfchops]

Basically, at the end of the day, can we stop saying "Basically, at the end of the day .... do you know what I mean"?

[jno]

It's just one of those words we use to fill in space while we formulate the next sentence we're going to say. The alternative is to leave big silent gaps in our conversation, except for those few who are fortunate enough to be able to rattle on without repetition, hesitation or deviation.

good answer jno, basically,I couldnt have phrased it better xx

[Grunty]

Yes it's irritating, but less irritating than er, er, er. Unfortunately I also find it less irritating than the radio programme to which jno refers. The habit doesn't make Frank Bruno any less interesting to listen to; know what I mean?

[joko]

[THECORBYLOON]

If someone says to me, "At the end of the day,,,,,,," I chip in wi " ...it gets dark"

[paddy_36]

At the end of the day, basically, as I say, like, actually, by the way,.....you know what I mean. Eh?
