This might not count as a phrase exactly, but why the fuck do so many people say "is" twice? "The thing is is that..." or "The point is is that..." or whatever. Where the fuck is that second "is" coming from? I'm expecting at least one person to have never noticed this before, and now they're going to start hearing it everywhere. Fuck you, we suffer together.
This is is just unheard of

It tends to happen in contexts where beginning the sentence with "what" would require the second "is."
Something like, "What the problem is, is that blahblahblah." People don't use that initial "what," but still include the second "is." It's maddening.

What is what is in the context of what is?
