Hot tubs are awesome but I wouldn't care to have one.

that the way it is.
It is Spanish, "Eso sí que es," and can mean "There it is." There's a joke of a customer going in to a store. He only speaks Spanish. He asks for socks, "calcetines." But the sales clerk doesn't understand and tries to sell shirts, jackets, ties, etc. Finally the customer sees socks for sale and says, "¡Eso sí que es!" The clerk says, "If you knew how to spell it, why didn't you say that in the first place?"
