Like what??

The phrase “Like what??” started as a natural reaction among Gen Z and LGBTQ+ youth, especially in casual conversation or online. It’s used when someone says something off, confusing, or hypocritical—and instead of dragging them, you just hit them with: “Like what??”

It’s giving side-eye energy. It’s lowkey calling someone out without starting a fight.
Often used in texts, stories, TikToks, or memes with dramatic pause or sass.

This version of “Like what??” was created and popularized by younger online creators as a signature catchphrase or reaction word.
“They said they hate attention… while wearing neon green at 8 AM.”
