what happen

An interrogative as to the events that have come to play, be it in the distant past, the recent past, or the present. This phrase may or may not use a question mark, but is an interrogative, regardless.

This phrase, popular among geeks, alludes to the poorly-translated Sega game Zero Wing; however, it is not always used for its pop culture value alone.

person: "Oh shit."
person2: "what happen"
person: "My term paper got deleted from my computer!"
person2: "Seriously? Oh, shit! Are you sure there isn't a back up somewhere?"
person: "Nope, not one back-up."
person2: "All your docs are belong to trash :("

What happened to you?

A stunningly inappropriate and thoughtless question often blurted toward a handicapped person, the only proper answer to which is "Don't ask".

"What happened to you?" asked the seemingly civilized man of the woman who was struggling mightily to take each halting step. Yet she needed no reminder of how hard it was to move, or of how many years she had been in pain. She was under no obligation to answer the moronic stranger, who in any event seemed to want no answer and quickly began prattling about his skiing accident, years ago, which he believed would be fascinating to a woman with a permanent handicap, but, please... don't ask.
