such is life 

A phrase used when one tries to find a way to accomplish something that should be relatively easy, and finds the task overbearing due to outside influences.
At that point one might surrender, and choose to accept things as they are. This is NOT the same as giving up and is NOT associated in any way with acts of physical or mental abuse

An analytical or casual thought process used to define one's abililty to understand that some things cannot be changed by the human species, and therefore requires acceptance

casual frustration
I did all the right things, and they didn't work this time. Oh well, There's nothing else I can do. I'll get over it....... such is life........

I wish the flowers would last all year, but I understand that's the way nature works.....such is life.

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
