Definition of afterall

(Mr. America, 4:6...)

After_all , a guy 's gotta have a_little ego !

(Tristram P. Coffin, "Folklore in the American Twentieth...)

After_all , the average American as he lies and waits for the enemy in Korea or as she scans the newspaper in some vain hope of personal contact with the front is unconcerned that his or her plight is the result of a complex of personal , economic and governmental actions far beyond the normal citizen 's comprehension and control .

After_all , the field is large , difficult to define and seldom taught properly to American undergraduates .

(B. J. D. Meeuse, The Story of Pollination....)

After_all , social life in the group of the bees is by_no_means general , although it certainly is a striking feature .

(Brand Blanshard, "The Emotive Theory," Robert...)

The suggestion that in saying something evil had occurred we were after_all making no mistake , because we had never meant anyhow to say anything about the past suffering , seems to me merely frivolous .
