"It Is What It Is"
A simply lazy way of explaining "nothing".
Nothing and I mean NOTHING simply "Is what it is"!
That would mean (someTHING?) is nothing and there is no such thing asnothing! It is a word without meaning.
I looked this up because I am sick of hearing this phrase spoken by people from every walk of life.
Nothing is Nothing and therefore by it's own definition does not exist.
