    The expression, “yuck my yum” mildly infuriates me.

      It is definitely a face punching worthy turn of phrase

        Face punching is “yuck my gum”

      Definitely worthy of a subtle eye roll at least. My number one would have to be “it is what it is”. They all fall under the category of “saying something without saying anything”.

        But you are saying something - the subtext could be “and we can’t change it”. It’s a way of acknowledging the situation without wanting to waste further time on it.

          It’s like Vonnegut’s “so it goes.”

        I’m going to start using this after someone tells me a story or something interesting.

          Thanks! I’m a non english native speaker, so when i see colloquial phrases, sometimes i do not get the meaning.
