"Can't change the past." It is what it is. "This happen to whoever." It is what it is. A saying all should live by.

When a man wants to tell a woman he is in love with her but can’t
“I know we’ve only been dating a short time but it is what it is.”

Of course it's an old time saying and such, but these days, at least in SD, it's stalker language. For "this is what it will always be like" &"you can't do anything about it" and a way for them to justify their actions by just saying "that's just life!" Like they don't have a choice but to stalk people. Anyway, I dont know if its universal but maybe it can help.

A statement made by someone who wants to avoid an argument or has no intent of engaging on an issue, because they know fine damn well they've screwed up and they'd definitely be on the losing end of things.
Often taken up by egomaniac head coaches who just lost a game they should have had sewn up (e.g. Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Bill Belichick etc - Jerry Glanville for the teenagers) or someone in management fond of punching down who just fucked over an employee. Again.

'Bill, you really weren't ready for that hook-and double lateral that won the game for Miami today. Why did you put Gronkowski on the field in defense when Kenyan Drake was always going to breeze past him?' 'It is what it is.'
'You've got me in on a national holiday shift where there's no more buses home ten minutes before I'm done and a taxi would cost more than half what I'd make in that shift. Every time this happens.' 'It is what it is. Sort it out yourself.'

A mindless phrase made popular during the early 1990s by nationally syndicated radio celebrity Rush Limbaugh.
Thanks largely to Limbaugh’s equally mindless listeners, the phrase grew in popularity to the point that “it is what it is” became anthemic among white supporters of former US President Donald Trump and his ilk.

1st idiot: “Did you hear what Limbaugh says Clinton is gonna do with health care”?
2nd idiot: “Well…’ya know, Clinton is a communist, so…it is what it is”.
