It think it means as usual, in that context. Bed, it is = Bed, as usual. IT IS by itself, used at the end of a sentence, is not an idiom. It's a phrase that, when used at the end of a sentence implies an action that's going to be taken. Let's say you are on a soup diet. Then, you can say: For dinner, soup it is. ( For dinner, soup as usual.) Note: you can't contract IT IS when used at the very end of a sentence because it is there for emphasis, and if contracted it would lose its emphatic meaning, thus creating a grammatical error in that particular situation. |
