A British West Yorkshire slang term used to sarcastically acknowledge something someone has said, often in response to an absurd or painfully obvious situation or a dry toned reply to a dry conversation. It conveys a mix of exasperation, irony, and resigned acceptance, especially when something could have been resolved much more easily or a situation/conversation being absurd.
Origin: Rooted in Northern English sarcasm, where stating the obvious deserves an equally obvious—but dry—response. Often accompanied by an smile and raised eyebrows.
