Definitely worthy of a subtle eye roll at least. My number one would have to be “it is what it is”. They all fall under the category of “saying something without saying anything”.
But you are saying something - the subtext could be “and we can’t change it”. It’s a way of acknowledging the situation without wanting to waste further time on it.
The expression, “yuck my yum” mildly infuriates me.

It’s like Vonnegut’s “so it goes.”
or you have to accept it and just have to work your way around it.
I say “it is what it is” all the time because my life is horrible and unsolvable, and I have a limit on talking about it.
That’s politics for ya
I don’t even know what it means!
Wait: Wait, I get it now. it’s along the lines of someone else’s trash is someones treasure and you should not put them down because of it?
It basically means ‘I don’t want to spoil something that you like’
Thanks! I’m a non english native speaker, so when i see colloquial phrases, sometimes i do not get the meaning.
Never heard it before, don’t want too
I’m going to start using this after someone tells me a story or something interesting.
It is definitely a face punching worthy turn of phrase
Face punching is “yuck my gum”
