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.

It Is What It Is 

A cop out phrase many people use to describe a situation, place, or thing they think have no control over and trying to change things or people’s minds about it is useless.

Detroit is a dangerous city and San Francisco is an expensive place to live. It is what it is!

It is what it is 

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: "I mean, the car doesn't have an engine, wheels, frame, steering wheel, doors, body panels, window glass, electrical system, transmission, but for eleventy hundred bucks, it is what it is."

Bud: "Well of course it is what it is. Is there ever a time when it isn't what it is?"

Dud: "You know what I meant!"

Bud: " Then you should have just said what you meant instead."

it is what it is 

What every last ignorant person in the universe uses to signify an inevitable situation. Unfortunately, an even worse catch phrase exists...what happens in blank stays in blank.

Me: You need to paint that fucking wall or you're not getting paid today.

Me: Cockpunch!

It is what it is 

It is what it is.

This phrase is a pointless grouping of words.

Most often used by those whose family's are riddled with incest. Typically they are exceptionally stupid, low rent, pukes. That is why they waste time and breath stating the obvious. "It is what it is" is free of any original thought, and is technically not a statement because it's not saying anything.

If you hear someone saying these words it's best to turn and leave, foregoing any interaction and definitely avoid business or extra familial affairs.

"It is what it is" said the lowlife to the heroin dealer.
