No, young man, it is not, in fact, "all good." Some of it is good, no doubt! But some of it is undeniably bad. And while I'm at it, are there really "no worries"? Or are there many, many worries, chief among them the surfer-dude-izing of the English language.
Agreed. May I add that “It is what it is” is what it is, which is meaningless? Thanks!
I agree with both David and Kate and would add “whatever” to that list of meaningless, but faintly hostile remarks.
@Kate: You know, I’ve considered the social utility of “it is what it is.” I think what it means is, “I cannot change it, so I have accepted it.” Which of course is a thing that really needs to be said a lot of the time in life. But then why don’t we simply say it then? Because we’re afraid it’s more likely to be challenged–WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’VE ACCEPTED IT!?–“it is what it is” … is.
@Cindy: Whatevs.
