Okay, that was seriously geek cool.

That's better than "that that is is that that is not is not is it it is" (which is not grammatically correct, and adding the correct grammar explains too much, "That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is it? It is.")

It reminds me of one I heard in school:

Matt where Jesse had had had had had had had had had had had Jennies approval

Insert proper punctuation.

If you spell out the word "socks" in English, you're saying "it is what it is" in Spanish (or so I'm told).

Is you're source of that knowledge the same as mine? Namely a very frequently played radio commercial back in the mid-90s that said something like:

"Learnign Spanish is easy. Spell socks. S-O-C-K-S. See, isn't it easy!"

That's not even close to the exact wording but that was the spirit of what they said. I imagined them teaching the whole language by memorizing what English word to spell in key situations.

No. Never heard that commercial. I was told this by a Spanish speaking co-worker.
