Re: "In a minute"

No sweat off my azz if you want to sound like an imbecile. Really.

What exactly does this innocent saying of deep, transcendental philosophy -- "It is what it is" -- mean? Enlighten me.

It is simple It is what it is means: That is just how it is. Nothing you can do about it. It is out of your hands, I say it a lot.

I know that, man: I was just being sarcastic, as usual.

All of the above phrases you mentioned at least sound a bit deeper than "It is what it is." That is the most moronic statement going today.

It's weird to me that there's so many people who haven't heard it before.

Don't worry, my dumb azz picked up your sarcasm.

Basically it means "oh well, nothing I or we can do about it. It meaning whatever.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my Sesame Street videos. Thanks.

Re: "In a minute"

As someone who is overly fond of understated comments, I use it all the time. The best time was when I went to a going away dinner for my cousin a few years ago, and I said to some of the people there, "Yeah, I haven't seen you guys in a minute", and it had been about 15 years since I saw them.

As one of the older Black folks in this thread, I'm going to go ahead and say I invented the saying around 1998.

Also I'm going to claim, "It Is What It Is" too, since I've been using that one since about 1993. I shoulda trademarked it.
