It's like the lazy person's tell. I have even more for you - <a href="http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php" rel="nofollow">a whole list</a> of banished words. And guess what's on there...?

Is this a new thing? Why have I never heard it before? Or why has it never bothered me before? It's like the conversational way of saying, "I don't understand it, I don't like it but I don't know how to change it so I give up." Or something. My friend Val vomits this phrase every few minutes. Daughter uses the potty at home but not in public? "It is what it is." She and her husband are contemplating divorce again? "It is what it is." Men get paid more than women in every workplace? "It is what it is." Please, nice lady, make it stop. I don't want to have to bash any heads in so close after my New Year's resolutions!
