“It is what it is”

Im so tired of this phrase being used. Everywhere I turn, in banks at the grocery store, waiting in the doctors office, all I hear is that phrase. It's like people don't even want to try to converse anymore. It's being used back and forth between people, like I'm watching a volley of tennis. Sometimes I feel I'm going to scream if I hear one more person utter those 5 little words.
