There may have been a problem but it’s time to move on. The precise origin is unknown but the expression has frequently been used in sports to chronicle a loss or other difficulty and indicate it was time to forget it. William Safire found its earliest use in a 1949 Nebraska newspaper article about how pioneer life molded character. “New land is harsh and vigorous and sturdy. . . . It is what it is, without apology” (J. E. Lawrence in Nebraska State Journal, quoted by Safire in the New York Times, March 5, 2006).
