"It is what it is."

Having already made my curmudgeonly statement, I'll now confess that I find myself using "anyhoo" on occasion, which is REALLY hypocritical of me, 'cos I hate hearing other people say "anyhoo."

I say "any hoo" or "any way" when I want to end a phone call.

lol! I think that's who I got it from... my mother, I mean. Sometimes it's a little game to see who will say it first.
It's also a way I diffuse the very beginning of an argument.
Sometimes she'll start saying, "So, son, are you going to church? Today's Sunday." And I'll say, "Anyway... got to go." We laugh and hang up.
