what that is

A phrase with wrong grammar, but it is already widely accepted in the English Language, as it is also widely used in public. The 'what that is' phrase could be used at the end of a question, e.g. Do you know what that is?, but now it could also be used as a single question: What that is?

(Person X doing homework)
Y: What that is?
X: My homework that is.
