Day In, Day Out: The Infinite Loop of Life’s Routine 🌤️
Definition: Day in, day out - Regularly, constantly, all the time, with the persistence resembling the daily sunrise.
Often found sauntering through conversations, this phrase implies a relentless repetition of routine. Its genesis traces back to dialectical books of the 19th century, solidifying its omnipresence by the time it found itself comfortably seated in Charles Day Lewis’ autobiography in 1960: “One boy . . . was kicked around, jeered at or ostracized, day in day out for several years.”
