People use this phrase to explain that a point once made is now moot. However, this brings up a huge issue, speaking from logical terms. I mean, if it's not here, and it's not there, then that means it's nowhere. But for something to be existent, in this case "it," then it has to be somewhere. Therefore, since it's nowhere, then it can't really be at all, thus denying "its" status of existence. So when you're saying "It's neither here nor there," what you're really saying is that nothing is nowhere-- an idyllic black hole, so to speak. Ah, but that's another issue. A black hole IS something, and it exists in a certain place...
Dizzying, isn't "it"???
