The worst of the four possible combinations

My ranking would be:

It is what it isn’t > It isn’t what it isn’t > It isn’t what it is >> It is what it is

Obviously “I am what I am” trumps the lot.

Yes I’m a bit bored and irritable today.

#4

it is what it is, but it doesn’t have to be :thinking:

#5

I hate ‘it is what it is’ cos it’s always about a disappointment, isn’t it.

The worst use of this are when either employers or businesses use it as an excuse to let you down. Maybe if there’s no actual reason for it, maybe reconsider your position you absolute tit.

Can I implore you to upgrade to “it is what it isn’t”? Or alternatively “same as it ever was. same as it ever was”

Very happy to swap to ‘same as it ever was, same as it ever was’
