"It is what it is"
A phrase that can mean anything and therefore means nothing. Used typically by stupid people who have lost the plot and have nothing to add to a conversation (yet want to say something anyway). 04-chairshot04-chairshot

RE: "It is what it is"
Kind of like another phrase I loathe, yet you hear way too often, especially with athlete interviews:

"At the same time."

Meaning "ignore what I just said as I am now going to do a 180 and directly contradict myself , asking you not to call me out on it."

"On the other hand" is the alternative form of that phrase.
