Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “the order of the day” and its meaning is “something that is very common; something that is usual or expected; something that is most important in a particular situation/in a particular period of time” prevalent, customary, established, common, widespread.
Example Sentence: Crass (stupid/uncultured) politics triumphing over enlightened public administration has become the order of the day. It is in this context that the Centre’s dialogue with the States over amending the AIS rules assumes importance. Such amendment would empower the Centre to commandeer the services of any officer serving in the States to work for the former, with or without the concurrence of the State concerned or the consent of the particular officer.
