Alternatives for All

Alternatives is a recurring post in which I give synonyms for an over used word. Click on the tab above for a "complete" list of over used words. 
 
Today's word is: ALL
Depending on how you use it, this list may come in handy for finding another way to say the same thing.


After all, It's all we can do.






Here are some examples of how we might substitute the word ALL for something else. 


One for en masse and en masse for one!  
.................Hmmm how about,
One for the kit and kaboodle and the kit and kaboodle for one!
................. Errrr
The works for one and one for the works?   
..................OH! I've got it!
The group for one and one for the group!
