"It is what it is"
Such a nothing phrase that I use too often.
Same, haha. But i don't think it's a nothing phrase...more of a throwaway, useful-in-many-situations type thing...like a Kleenex.
Like a quicker, nicer way of saying, "yeah, but what the freak are you gonna do, cry about it? Birds fly, fish swim, people are assholes."
"I could care less". So you do actually care a certain amount then?
YES! This always makes me wince a bit too, and it's so common....like how suddenly everyone is putting the dollar sign AFTER the number.
