I know you are but what am I 

I was a kid in the 60's.. This phrase was not used by older sophisticated persons.. It was simply a juvenile response to juvenile name calling.. Some dumb kid would say: "You're Stupid" the simple and quick response would be "I know you are but what am I".. Sometimes (probably when first used) a good come back to one who was truly stupid, because it confounds them, confuses them.. "Uh uh uh, um, you're stupid?"
In actuallity, the phrase would go back and forth, several times.. "You're stupid", "I know you are but what am I" "You're dumb", "I know you are but what am I".. "What a jerk", "I know you are but what am I", "Jerk", "I know you are but what am I"...

Just a juvenile thing.. Used so often though (way back when) that til this day, I use the phrase in response to good compliments.. Most people my age, or close too, enjoy and laugh :)

Example: "You're cute" my response "I know you are but what am I" :)

You have officially fucked up. You have obviously done something hurtful, mean, or just some stupid shit to piss rachel off. There will most definately be a reaction to your action.

Stuff You Should Know 

Stuff You Should Know is a podcast that is on iTunes, presented by HowStuffWorks.com.

Howstuffworks.com is a journalism website on which there is an article on many a thing.

SYSK, as it is known, is hosted by Chuck "Chuckers" Bryant, and Josh Clark.

Stuff You Should Know is, in my opinion, good. Although this, many people accuse it of being poorly researched and just plain wrong. So be it, it's your right to dislike it.

So, I suppose if you're interested, take a look.

Also, there are many Howstuffworks.com podcasts,such as

Stuff You Missed In History Class;
Stuff Mom Never Told You;
Stuff They Don't Want You To Know;
Techstuff,
and Stuff From The Science Lab.

among others, I'm sure I missed at least one
Stuff You Should Know is an audio podcast from Howstuffworks.com
