It Is What it Is ?

I have a few pet peeves and sure there are expressions that drive many of you crazy, some of those older ones generally used in business are "at the end of day" and "24/7". Making matters worse, have you ever had a visitor, not once but repeatly to nausea they use "24/7". Perhaps like they have an arsenal of 100 words in their vocabulary but have this internal wiring system that produces from their wrenched vocal chords "24/7" every thirty minutes. Enough. "It is what it is". Who ever came up with this should be hog tied, shot with an elephant gun and then urinated on and just for good measure kicked in the ear drum. Folks, talk about a "quitters" white flag salute. The founder of this expression was quite obviously a born loser. The guy who was always picked last for a game of street hockey. Played on teams that always fell into the basement in the overall standings. Policticaly did not have the courage to stand up & make a change. Do you think Martin Luther King ever said "it is, what it is". Do you think FDR ever shouted from his wheelchair "It is, what it is". I'm pretty certain Steve Jobs used this cry baby expression all the time ? Geez, i can't tie up my shoes,"it is what it is", oh,, i can't do it, i quit. Make me vomit 10W-40 heavy duty. For god sake people of this foul expression. Get some rubber balls! Be proud. Have some confidence. Have some fight. Don't be a limp piece of licorice. People of the world let us put an end to this one.
