And what about it?

A phrase made famous by Ariana Grande meaning why should I care? Also another way of saying “so what?” The gif of Ariana saying this has become a wide spread meme on twitter.

Ariana: “And what about it?” *walks off*

Derek: “Why do you like Ariana Grande so much? She’s such a bitch!”

I have no idea what you're talking about

The most self-incriminating thing a suspect can say to a law enforcement official.

A suspect who has a substantial amount of evidence linking him/her to a crime will act completely oblivious to the matter.

Saying such a phrase will destroy a suspect's credibility since he/she is being non-cooperative and is obviously lying.
Officer: We've got your DNA on the dead body, your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, and we have three credible eye-witnesses saying they saw you pull the trigger!

Suspect: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Officer: Thanks, that's all I needed to hear.

Lemme give you the picture like stencil
Falling out, in a drought
No flow, rain wasn't pouring down (pouring down)
See, that pain was all around
See, my mode was kinda lounged
Didn't know which-which way to turn

You could never match my grind
Please do not, not waste my time
