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 :("

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."

That'll happen on those bigger jobs

That just happened

(Phrase) The only thing you can say when something so audacious happens that you have no response beyond iterating that the event occurred in the first place.

Person 2: I... Uhhhh... That just happened.
