It was what it was

This word is similar to it is what it is except it means that you are done. You can't change the situation, so there is no need to worry about it or waste any more time with it and you have moved on.

Girl 1: I am sorry that you and Brad broke up.

Girl 2: Oh no biggie, it was what it was! I am past him now!

what it is

An all but lost phrase from the seventies era of ebonics, the closest contemporary equivalent being, "What up?" WHAT IT IS is often a rhetorical question like, "How's it hanging?" or "What's going on?"

"What it is, Jeffro? Slip me some skeein!"

It is what it is.

Simply stated means, "There is nothing that you may do about it. So, you must just accept it"

Death is inevitable. It is what it is.

What?

The never fail perfect deflector. Always a perfect and easy escape route away from sticky situations. When asked "What?", you reply with the same response, and no one can ever really come up with a response to it.

Ex1.
Keith: "God, she's so hot..."
Gabby: "What!?"
Keith: "What?"

Ex2.
Mike: "So I made out with Greg's hot girlfriend last night..."
Greg: "What!!"
Mike: "What?"
Corey: "Way to go he's standing right with us, genius"
Mike: "No, It's alright, I've got this. He still has no idea about my tongue in his girl's mouth."
Greg: "WHAT!?!?"
Mike: "What?"
Greg: "GAHHH!!"
