if it gives it gives

Attributed originally to a traveling Scandinavian in the UK, this incredibly versatile phrase can be literally translated as "fuck it." This phrase seems to simply state the obvious but actually implies helplessness in a similar vain to 'it is what it is'. Can be abbreviated to 'if it gives' in standard conversation. Phrase abstracted from this immortal quote; "If it gives it gives, if it doesn't it doesn't, it's just the same."

Q: Why do I always get the crazy ones?
A: If it gives it gives mate.

Third abridgment of the original term "Give it up," which semantically became "Give it," and now is often more concisely spoken "Give."

syn: c'mon, give it up, give it, ah yeah!, 's'up dawg, numba!

"Hey, Bainz, give!"

Watching the game on TV, after my 14th beer, I began to jump up and down with the gang yelling "Give!" when the Huskers scored to pull within 17.

Compton slapped ol' Swain a smooth five as he said, "C'mon 'n' give, y'all."
