It is what it is.

Is it ?
I mean something can always be changed, surely.

Everything changes over time. "It is was it is" is the 1st refuge of defeatism!

I once bought a red electric guitar, after a while I decided I didn't like red so I stripped it down and sprayed it Black.

I could have said "it is what it is" when it was red but I changed it so now it isn't what it was.

It was what it was but now it is what it is...isn't it?

Meaningless, overused, pointless expression that is getting on my tits almost as much as sentences being started with so.

So tell me more....

Someone had to do it.

So ...... Also pisses me right off but it is what it is.

Not always.

Usually when you have no more moves or actions left and don't want to accept it, one gets down about it.

Unless you except that it is what it is.

You can't rewind time to run faster to catch a bus or train.

You have to accept it's gone.

Agreed. Another shitty phrase is it's one of them.
One of them what?

I like it but can see why others don’t, it gets a bit overused. There’s nothing wrong with accepting and understanding the reality of a situation and every circumstance is then a starting point for action.

Much better than Stay calm and… (insert something meaningless)
