"that's what is going on" or "that's how things are" or "that's the deal" that is as close in meaning as you can get.

Literal translation....There's the pie. My Interpretation....that's the story. Probably a slang. I don't know. Title: you're right, could be idiomatic Post by: vagn on April 12, 2003, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Could be......, posted by Cold Warrior on Apr 12, 2003
