At the end of the day, the word basically literally has basically no purpose.

Sokrateez posted:"it is what it is" This might be the best phrase in the history of the English language. It's basically Stoicism and philosophical Buddhism distilled to their essence.

Moon Atari posted:That's a good idiom but a little awkward as a consequence of english sentence structure. If I remember correctly a bunch of other languages have very common phrases with similar meaning. Japanese definitely does but I can't remember it. The French have "C'est la vie," meaning "Thats life" or "Such is life"

All's well that ends well...not necessarily. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush - I prefer no birds, I'm allergic to their feathers and they keep me up at night. A bird that's plucked and fried with breadcrumbs is worth 10 in the bush. The early bird gets the worm but he's only early because he didn't look before he leapt, the early mouse doesn't get the cheese, aphorisms make no sense in a vacuum and are only meaningful if you know who you are advising and are tailoring your idiomatic advice to their personal foibles.

Bud K ninja sword posted:"not for nothing" I dated a girl who used to use this and "it is what it is" all the time and i can confidently say people who use either with any frequency are trash people. In fact when I broke up with her her ~cryptic sad Facebook status~ was "it is what it is" it took a lot of willpower not to write "lol" in the comments

"It is what it is" is pretty good for when someone is tripping out about something 100% beyond their control and you need a polite way to tell them to calm their tits.
