ACTUALLY
as a matter of fact
actually; in addition to what has been said; in reference to what has been said.As a matter of fact, John came into the room while you were talking about him.I'm not a poor worker. As a matter of fact, I'm very efficient.
in the flesh
really present; in person.I've heard that the queen is coming here in the flesh.Is she really here? In the flesh?I've wanted a color television for years, and now I've got one right here in the flesh.
so be it
this is the way it will be.If you insist on running off and marrying her, so be it. Only don't say I didn't warn you!Mary has decided that this is what she wants. So be it.
such as it is
in the imperfect state that one sees it; in the less-than-perfect condition in which one sees it.This is where I live. This is my glorious home— such as it is.I've worked for days on this report, and I've done the best that I can do. It's my supreme effort—such as it is.
