Translation help

[bonusvir]

salvete omnes, here in Canada we have this incredibly ridiculous saying that is driving me nuts. So I was wondering what the Latin translation would be. The phrase is " it is what it is" most people in the office think I am odd so I thought why not use the same phrase in Latin. My translation would be EST QUID EST, any thougths?

"id est quod est" looks much better.

That's what I was going to suggest. You can't use quid anyway, as it's an interrogative.

I wonder if dropping one of the verbs and just using "id quod est" would work. It seems a little less clunky.
