So What? 

A phrase used to describe complete lack of interest in what another person is saying, considered rude or necessary, depending on the conversation.
Alternatively, this can be used as a defensive phrase, see examples, to attempt to save one's self from ridicule.
As a third option, it is also used as a peacemaking, forgiving phrase.
