It is what it is.

“Que será, será” or “C'est la vie” for idiots.

This phrase may date back to 1949, where it appeared in an a Nebraska State Journal article by J.E. Lawrence; however, it resurfaces from time to time, like herpes, from a 2001 film by Billy Frolick to a 2017 Europop album by Johnny Logan.

Injun 

A racially offensive term for Natives of North America.

"Whazzup Injuns?"
"Yo, my Injuns, don't panic, we got plenty o' bannock."
