Thread Name: BS: Fossilised phrases
Subject: RE: BS: Fossilised phrases
"in the groove" is still heard frequently in baseball referring either to a batter on a hitting streak or a pitcher throwing a lot of strikes.

I had been under the impression (misinformed?) that "cc" formerly carbon copy now referred to a courtesy copy which is public as compared to a blind copy (bc) which is not.

"at the end of the day" is perhaps more overused than fossilized. I still have one most every day.
