do what

Absolutely the most annoying phrase Texans say! I have lived down here the past 14 years and have never gotten used to it. It still rubs my Yankee ears the wrong way.

It means "I can't hear you or I don't understand".

Person Number 1: "Well, I blah, blah, blah..."

Person Number 2: "Do what?" (usually said in a rude tone)

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

The story behind "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is actually quite fascinating. You see, William Tager was the local psycho in New York. He thought CBSNews was beaming signals into his head. Naturally, when he saw Dan Rathers walking down the street, he ran up and beat the crap out of him, repeatedly requesting the frequency of the signals so he can stop them, while addressing Rathers as "Kenneth" for no apparent reason to this date.

After this freak event, Tager later shot a CBSNews stagehand. He was then arrested, and told his therapist all the beans.

R.E.M. made a song called "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" The phrase became a nationwide phenomenon. Whenever a cat fell off a roof and killed an old lady, they'd shout it. Whenever they didn't understand a homework question, they'd shout it. And if by any chance, that one son Tager had had with that old lady makes it past the age of five and notices that CBSNews is undetectedly taking over the world through brain control, he may see that one creepy guy who replaced Dan Rathers walking down the street while having a nice stroll down New York and beat the crap out of him, saying "KENNETH, WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY!?"

Teacher: "When A and X are both positive integers in the equation a(4/4)=x and Y is a negative integer in the equation xy=a2, what is the value of Y? Billy?"

Billy: "HOLY CRAP! WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY, KENNETH!!?"

Peppa what are you doing is a trend from TikTok that I’m freaking tired up but it basically means someone finds peppa and asks what is she doing somewhere

“Peppa what are you doing in my chocolate “

well, what happened was...

used to preceed an exaggerated story about a mistake/problem that could (usually) be summed up with a short, more accurate, explanation.

"well, what happened was... a dog saw a squirrel and ran three times around the tree and by the time I finished helping the dog, that's when my sister's car was stolen by Iraqi Ninjas. So I chased them down and punched one in the face, he burst into flames and then I got back into the car, drove here and that's why i'm late for work."

what-if

strange curiosity; eagerness to know something.

The boy is full of what-if; he is eager to wonder what the world would look like if he had senses other than the five senses.

i tell you what

chiefly southern, esp texan. added at the end of pretty much anything, esp to add exclamatory sense to a clause. has a somewhat cryptic meaning known only to southerners. so you non-hicks, stop trying.

Bill's car is so red, I tell you what!
