A slightly more polite way to say "Anyway..." or "Moving on..." in response to something you don’t find particularly engaging (mildly interesting) or not worth further discussion (inconsequential information), with a reduced probability of hurting or ignoring someone entirely.
In French Canadian (Quebec), "ah oui hein?" is an informal / colloquial follow-up interjection, often said in a nonchalant manner to convey a mix of polite acknowledgment and mild indifference.
When used genuinely (i.e. not sarcastically), the speaker is effectively being polite, demonstrating a willingness to keep the conversation going despite a lack of immediate curiosity.
Synonyms are listed next in decreasing orders of interest & politeness: "Interesting", "Is that so?", "Oh really!", "I see", "Okay", "Got it", "Uh-huh", "Right", "Oh, okay then", "Huh.", "Alright", "Alrighty then", "If you say so.", (with sarcasm) "Shut the front door!".

Get the lookin ahmug. Few people bear the name Aheli, but those who do deserve it in its entirety. While it may seem that they’re hot headed, have interesting desires, and like to obsess over big events in their lives, you will find that these qualities are the reason why you are attracted to an Aheli. Ahelis are hardworking, almost to a ridiculous degree on anything they set their mind to. They have a no BS attitude, and they’ll speak their mind to you without hesitation. In public, Aheli can seem like someone weird. But in private, you will find that they have a side to them which slows down, and seeks to find depth and intimacy. If you happen to stumble on one, hold on to them as hard as you can. Because if you fumble one and let them go, you will find that more than one force of nature will strike upon you and rain hell.
