Very good.

You agree to have a drink with a colleague who you regularly chat to on the phone. He is friendly, helpful and has a sexy voice. When you meet he turns out to be a spotty, obese Danny Baker-alike. IT is what it is, you reason.

Eet ees what eet ees, as the French would say.

Rotten scallops vomited onto a child's grave - it is what it is
The life, career and misdeeds of Alan Hansen - it is what it is
The suspicion that your amanuensis has made a series of clerical errors - it is what it is
Your breakfast marred by a scuffle outside a baker's - it is what it is
A persistent fog over your sister's doings - it is what it is

Finally some sense around here.

How many times a day do you fucking hear "It is what it is"?  Genuinely asking - I've got to be into double figures some days.

I'm typically blunt when it plops out of someone's gob, bagging and labelling it as meaningless on the spot - but never seen anyone reflect on that, it's like an incurable disease.

It's a little squirt of diarrhoea from people who've forgotten how to terminate a sentence/conversation without panicking. Verbal shrug -> it is what it is! -> return to margin. "I have taken my hands off the wheel of this conversation and am now burning in a ditch."

Honestly, fairly rarely in general.  BUT one of my closest friends says it all the fucking time and in response to everything from a tragedy to a minor annoyance (as per the opening list).  I don't have the heart to tell her how annoying it is.

Also, having a massive whinge about something then saying "it is what it is" doesn't really match the stoical sentiment behind the maxim.

I just remembered this fucking OP in a meeting and had to leave. Crying laughing in the bogs.

Mashed my password, iiwii, but I had to log in as Abnormal Palm and say this was completely underappreciated and basically too good to last too long. Cheers.

See you once I've hit my fundraising target. 16% there because I had to take a bit for expenses. See ya.

Shit transplant gloryhole monkey.

'We tried to talk to Shoulders, but you know what he's like. A hothead.'

'Okay. We know that. So what?'

'Well. People are a little concerned.'

'A little concerned?'

'More than a little concerned. It is what it is.'

you can force a meme. it is what it is.


And then I have to drive Shoulders around to some abandoned house, pretending to be his friend the entire time.

'...and do you remember, Default, some of that banter on the forums?'

'Yeah,' I manage, while manoeuvring the gun in my pocket. 'Some of that stuff was hilarious. Anyway, here we are. This is the place.'

'This is the place?' he frowns. 'It looks like a derelict.'

'Don't judge a book by its cover, eh? Everyone's waiting for you inside. Preparing a big party for you. But it's supposed to be a surprise, so act like it's a surprise.'

'A SURPRISE PARTY,' bellows Shoulders. 'If I'd known, I would have worn my best for the occasion.'

'Don't worry about that. People will be happy to see you, just as you are. Let's go in.'

We walk into the house and, with some regret, I put the revolver to the back of his head. He hears me click the safety catch and he freezes. 'So. Gonna kill me? Are you going to pull the trigger? You know you'll never be able to forgive yourself and every day you will-'

BANG. His brains sprayed all over the wall. It is what it is.

Is this a half-arsed attempt at viral marketing for the new Thundercat LP?
