A response to any unexpected or displeasing news which expresses surprise and occasionally vague embarrassment.

A cliche, popular within the circles of coaches, business execs, and those of us who just want to say "It's happened. 'I'm going to forget about it. I'm going to move on. There is nothing that can be done about it."

"We showed up and gave 100%, and it is what it is."— NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson, after finishing second in the Nextel Cup championship. (AP, Nov. 22)
"Never in a million years did I think we would be 1-5 at this juncture, but it is what it is."— Mike Minter, safety for the NFL's Carolina Panthers, on his team's start this season. (AP, Oct. 24)
Is this a better game than before? That's what a lot of people are asking. Perhaps the more precise question should be: Is this what hockey is going to evolve into? And if so, will the fans, the players, the coaches, and the general managers embrace it as NHL hockey?
"It is what it is," said Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock. "It's a new game." (AP, Oct. 23)

a mixture between the sayings: what's wrong with that? and what about it? with a slight exclaimation as to the urgency of the matter

Word that has been whored out beyond belief. Often when ever you go into a large room and scream it, you'll be responded to by many "OKAY!"s by many people trying desperately to sound like Lil' John.
