It is what it is

Share definition
Tautology. Extremely stupid way of saying absolutely nothing. It's normally used to fill the room with a sound during an awkward pause or to evade a tough question (see Donald Trump, COVID-19). Often stuffy businessmen/women will use this when they just lost a shitload of money or fucked up big time.
When we go in there, as long as we know who's who and what's what, whatever happens happens and it is what it is!

describes something that can not and does not need to be changed or will not be changed, but is generally not important enough to fight over and can be overcome. In a bureaucracy, where some jaba the hut type is standing in the way, do like Gen George Patton and just go around the idiots...Originated by this author on the south side of chicago in the early 1990's when being the token white guy trying to help rightfully angry blackfolk(think obama's preacher) deal with a university's attempt to pave over their homes to make way for a larger campus. Used the phrase to transition to positive issues and ways to turn a negative into a positive or an irrelevant.
That idiot from the city is the same guy who lied to us 10 years ago when he convinced us to accept the old plan and they took away our homes and never built new ones. Why should we trust anything he says ??

You shouldn't...it is what it is...he has three more years until his pension kicks in and he doesn't have the support to stop this from going forward.

A term commonly used in the show love island, referring to when something goes wrong or doesn’t work out. First used by islander sherif when none of the birds stood forward for him. Poor cunt.

The meaning of "it is what it is" is that some things you can not change it will be the way it will be and refers to the past you can not change what happened 1 minute ago so what are you going to do other then to accept it.
In the past some people did not understand the meaning of "it is what it is" well "it is what it is you can't change the past but you can change the future and "it will be what it will be"
