I'm not going to read this thread, but I fully endorse the use of "it is what it is."

I appreciate its utility as a demonstrative epithet and certainly use it on occasion. Like anything popular it can and will be misused and overused.


at least it's not something so godawful as the bastardization of "crucial." I actually find myself avoiding using the word even when it's completely appropriate to avoid being mistaken for a wigger sympathizer.

I rarely ever hear it

it's defnitely not overused by most people I'd say

Shit happens.

Don't use "it is what it is" to explain to me why you're 28 years old and are now homeless because your parents kicked you out.

i LOVE this saying, and it is often appropriate.

classic platitude

5/10/2011 4:33:53 PM

yea, i use this from time to time.

My mom says this all the time when she wants to appear like she doesn't really care and isn't letting something get to her, but in fact is stewing on the inside over the event and wants to snap someone's neck

it is (1+what)?

It's not totally useless. How about this: "Well, this situation sucks, but that's reality, so I guess we'll just have to deal with it." It's a way of expressing that the situation is what it is, and the need to react accordingly persists.
