What incredibly vapid, stupid and unoriginal people say when they cannot construct a proper thought, retort or sentence.
If you were to ask a nitwit why he left work early, the response would go something like this. I don't know, I mean, I just felt ...I left early. It is what it is.

Or, to be dismissive. You promised me a dollar raise a month ago and it hasn't appeared in my check yet.
Well, it is what it is

Get the It Is What It Is mug.A completely useless phrase that is a tautology, or something that is true in every possible interpretation. A permanently self-proving and recursive phrase, there is never a time when it isn't what it is, because if there is, it wouldn't be itself, a condition which can never be true, or happen.
Otherwise, it's a meaningless statement meant to convey helplessness, uselessness, pointlessness, or that something may not have the really great features of its counterparts, but will do the job.
In all cases where one might wish to say "it is what it is", one should always instead simply state what the phrase is intended to mean.

Dud: "You know what I meant!"
Bud: " Then you should have just said what you meant instead."
