How it's used

Often used as a comforting response to someone worrying about things outside their control, such as career prospects or romantic prospects. It carries a sense of philosophical acceptance rather than laziness or apathy. While it can be used as a verb, it is very frequently used as an interjection or a standalone piece of advice at the end of a sentence.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with giving up or being lazy. It implies a healthy detachment from outcomes you cannot influence, whereas simply being lazy implies a lack of effort where effort is expected.
