It is what it is

A way of demonstrating apathy; an unwillingness to evoke change; a way of saying "It's not of interest to me."

Teacher: I just found out that OSHA regulations do not cover public employees in Florida. I was injured due to school construction and now have permanent hearing loss.

Friends: Oh well...It is what it is.

WHAT THE.....!?

Similar to all "What the..." expressions, but left uncompleted because of immediate devastating circumstances occuring before the individual is able to complete the expression.

a.) Used in horror movies - directly before victim discovers monster emerging from the plumbing or some other unexpected place. Victim says "What the..." and then is interupted abruptly by slime monster attack.

b.) As an element of surprise - "What the..." used as individual looks down at their shoe, after stepping in something soft and squishy on lawn.

c.) Similar usage: "What DA..." in extreme northern and southern geographical areas.

What.

Robert: What is it?

It’s what it is

What will happen will happen, no matter how much you worry and overthink it. You can’t control what will happen. So sit down and let fate do their work. You say that to calm yourself from overthinking.

Me: “what if they hate me? What if they don’t like me? What if I’m not good enough? What if they leave?”

Also you after 1 Hour breakdown : “it’s what it is”
