what not

A more hip hop way of saying "etc", or a verbal way of expressing "..." It is said by those that have so much poppin' that they don't have the time or energy to explain what the "what not" is. This term should not be used by wannabe gangstas, as this will only serve to slash your street cred. People will know you have no substance behind your "what not."

"What are you doing tonight?"
"I'm gonna meet some people and what not."

And then what

When somebody starts to tell you a story that you think is going somewhere but it doesn't, so you have to ask a question (and then what?), but there is no more to the story.

Sally: These two dogs were chasing me.

Jim: And then what?
Sallly: Nothing, that's it.

What-what?

1) Old fashioned term from British English asking agreement.

2) Term for anal sex usable in polite situations. (Taken from a South park sketch in which a character sings "What what? In the butt."

1) She has quite a nice body, what what?

2) (Conversation in grocery store line)
"Did you hear about the latest fight between John and Jane?"
"No, what did he do this time?"
"What-what?"
"Really? What a jerk."

what for

What For is received by those who bother the givers of what for. What For is preceded by threatening gestures and followed by pain.

Ben was pissing me off, so I gave him what for.
