[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 555039, member: 7966"] Urban Dictionary definition (there are 20 definitions): A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually means "it will be what it is," as in "it ain't gonna change, so deal with it or don't." - This is the closest definition to how I use it at UPS. Another def: A cliche, popular within the circles of coaches, business execs, and those of us who just want to say "It's happened. 'I'm going to forget about it. I'm going to move on. There is nothing that can be done about it." And another (this is close to how I use this in my private, non-UPS life) A phrase used to instill a sense of acceptance in a situation. It is used to remind one of the unalterable elements of life ... think "I am who I am". The phrase defines things that cannot be changed, ... "it is this way, so we have to accept it." An apple can never be an orange, even though if you wish, hope and dream it was an orange. it IS what it IS [/QUOTE]
