I think we need to put a moratorium on the phrases "it is what it is" and "I know, right?"

It's doing my head in and surely it's only a matter of time before I hear someone respond to the first statement with the second and I have no idea what I'm going to do at that point.

I mean, it is what it is

......resisting.

Unlike 'I mean' and 'I know right?'. I don't associate 'it is what it is' with social media, I think I associate it more with some geezer down the pub.

"It is what it is" is something someone says when they have absolutely nothing to say about a given subject but want to waste your time by making you listen to them speak.

I don't find "I mean" or "like" as offensive - they're just vocal tics. I did know a guy who said "et cetera" at the end of every sentence and I could feel my eye twitch every time he said it.
