It is what it is.

[Shell Beau]

What does that mean anyway? I do say it from time to time.

[Symarip]

1. No need to search for deeper meaning.

It is what it is.

[vard28]

2. This is how I use it

I use it instead of tough shit, stop whining, and/or stfu. :rofl:

[TZ]

3. We use it all the time at work

When we get fucked up results. "It is what it is".

[Rambis]

4. Hate that!

Just say fuck you, as it conveys the same message- Another one.. Six of one 1/2 dozen of another? Why can't people just say... Do what you like? No difference?

[Bake]

5. It means what it means. Or means what it says. Or says what it means.

Whatever ...

6. they call that a truism don't they?

i find it annoying when used too liberally.

[flvegan]

7. "I am what I am." Notice something odd about how the two resemble each other?

Yup, the most overused "business-ism" was boosted from frikkin' Popeye.

[Shell Beau]

8. I am what I am and that's all that I am

Eat yer spinich!!

[underpants]

[sammythecat]

12. It means "shut up"

[Z_I_Peevey]

13. There are known knowns.

There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.

I know you are, but what am I?

[nuxvomica]

14. I dunno but it does have a certain je ne sais quoi

Or does it? :shrug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. what it was, mon

what it was.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. Stop it. I hate that phrase with a passion!

A guy at my old job would say it all the time. I mean, all the time. And I think because that job sucked and I have bad memories of that place, whenever I hear it, I just cringe.
