Elcee answered Wednesday February 7 2007, 4:49 am: When someone uses the phrase "bottom line" is usually means that there is nowhere else to go or you have no choice but to do it. There tends to be nothing else after that with whatever the person is doing. For example the ultimate "bottom line" is that everyone will die eventually. Hope that helped.
