A final solution to a situation, usually after much deliberation, and a final acceptance of that fact. It can be giving up on expecting someone to show up, or as it's typically used amongst The Mafia, a death sentence.
The simplest definition is: a ultimate, final acceptance. Period. Past all points or avenues of trying to change the situation. Gun at your head, you're done crying, he's not hearing you out. It is what it is. Get on with it motherfucker!

This word is similar to it is what it is except it means that you are done. You can't change the situation, so there is no need to worry about it or waste any more time with it and you have moved on.

A phrase with wrong grammar, but it is already widely accepted in the English Language, as it is also widely used in public. The 'what that is' phrase could be used at the end of a question, e.g. Do you know what that is?, but now it could also be used as a single question: What that is?
