"It is what it is" is fairly common around here, and " you know what I mean? " is also fairly common. "I'm looking for foreclosure or house where I can build sweat equity - know what I mean? " Yeah, I know what you mean. You want a $450,000.00 house for $300,000.00, and you want to waste everyone's time looking for something that doesn't exisit and you want to submit low offers that have zero chance of being accepted.

I usually repeat back to them what they have said in the form of a question to try to help people become more aware.
Example:
So you really think it is a blah blah blah?
You want to know if I know what you mean?
Do you think it is what it is?
When they have it thrown back to them, they tend to really hear/see it

It drove me more than a little bit crazy.

There is a ROI time factor formula for this. It has to do with hearing the certain phrase of "let's put in a offer" per time period of hearing gibberish or nonsense words. It may be on the Appalachian business formula website.

I'm paid to listen.
I feel personal achievement when those I work with are better educated than before they met me.
I model the behavior that gets the best results.
The most frequent response, "Why do you enunciate every word correctly?"
My response, "How else are you supposed to pronounce them?"
"Hmmm. You are the first REALTOR I've met who pronounced their title correctly."
We will not go into the opossum and armadillo pronunciations.
You know, it is what is what it is, are not so bad as using as a punctuation mark the word like.
