I know what THAT means

A verbal prank commonly used by in a conversation, with the intent of annoying the listener. In this prank, there are two parties having a conversation: person A (the pranked) and person B (the pranker). Person A makes a simple, innocent remark with no double meanings. Person B initiates the prank and replies, "I know what THAT means" (note the emphasis on the word "that").

The prank is that person A begins to feel insecure or uncomfortable about what they have said, because the phrase, "I know what THAT means" gives the impression that person B misunderstood what was said (i.e. thinks it has a sexual meaning, or thinks they're lying about something). Person A is completely unaware that person B is just trying to annoy them.

After this, person B could proceed to only say, "I know what THAT means."
Dwight (person A): Hey man, I just remembered, that new Eminem album is out today! Wanna go get it?
Jim (person B): I know what THAT means...
Dwight: Um, what do you...think it means?
Jim: I know what THAT means...
Dwight: **quizzical look on face** um, all I asked was, wanna get the new Eminem album...?
Jim: I know what THAT means...
Dwight: **getting kind of annoyed** do you wanna get the new Eminem album or not?
Jim: I know what THAT means...
Dwight: **more annoyed** what does it mean?! Eminem album or not?
Jim: I know what THAT me--
Dwight: **angry** WHAT? WHAT?!
Jim: I know wh--
Dwight: WHAT DOES IT MEAN??!! WHAT??!!

what you know about that

A phrase vaguely assuming that someone doesn't know something unlike you. Usually used by anyone who can't stand the fact that somebody young or old may know more than what you do.
Example 1/ Girl: Hey auntie I saw West Side Story some days back and I just love it. Especially that ending.

Auntie: What you know about that? That's my movie stop playing yourself. I saw it in theaters.

Girl: But you told me that you've only seen half of the movie in theaters when it came out because you fell asleep. You've never watched it again.????

Auntie: you'll understand when your 70.

Girl: lol....... yeah sure

Example 2/ Beehive fan: I love my hit jam Irreplaceable by the God Beyonce.

Beyonce: what you know about that??? I wrote the song. Bow down b******.

Ne-Yo: b**** please I wrote that song

Beehive fan: quiet Ne-Yo the Royal Queen is talking.

let me know how that works out for you

the easiest way to end an argument when your opponent relays their intentions to do something that you do not agree with.
(online or in text msg, etc)
"I have to go shopping"
'I shop online, you must have tons of time on your hands. it's Christmas and the stores are packed!'
"The traffic here is fine."
'I thought it was snowing there.'
"I have snow tires! duh."
'You know, there are websites that sell things much cheaper.'
"But there is a sale going on at my favorite place!"
'fine. let me know how that works out for you.'

Best way to diffuse (yep, this is trolling!): "U mad?"

I don't even know what that means

This phrase is tagged to the end of one's speech in order to reveal an innuendo or undertone. It is expressed with a wide-eyed expression and a tone of confusion. It is often synonymous with "That's what she said".

Unlike "That's what she said", it is proper for one to add this phrase to the end of his/her own speech, as well as for others to do the honor for him/her.
