what the hey 

The most useless catchphrase known to man, much more so than "wocka wocka wocka" or "criminy jim-jim." Yes, some grungabiliacs might think "what the hey" originated in that childfest "The Suite Life of Zakkh and Cody," or in the frequently asked questions (FAQ'z, if you will) on "Weird Al" Yankovic's website, or even in a modest but kinda mediocre "Far Side" cartoon by that King of Cartoons "Gary Larson"--but the truth is that "what the hey" was devised by the Rev. Oral McJorrity to keep Satan's House off Christian tongues. (hell)
"What the hey was in those popsickles?"
"Tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD, PCP, ecstasy, and um, toxic waste to give it the color."
"Oh my jeez! That's fudgin' bad!"

-A chat between a McJorrity man and a not-so McJorrity man.

What the Hey-Hey! 

The mommy-friendly way of saying what the actual fuck when you know that children are present. (Usually used by blogger mommies.)
Rachel: My husband slept with his secretary.
Jess: What the Hey-Hey!

who said what in the hey now? 

I thought you just called my mother a cunt? Who said what in the hey now?

What the HeyHey? 

Just another in a long line of ways for a cheerless Jack to say the following:

"My life has not proceeded in such a way as to give me cause to say my life has proceeded to my liking's way. Rags. Rags and Pud Muffins."
"Yo, Gorshinsky, your wife's making a big show of twisting whole cucumbers into her nostrils for smack money down on Grand! And she's wearing those antique lamp shades on her thighs, again!"
"What the HeyHey?"

DNA WhattheHey! 

The moment at birth, examining a family photo, or just at random when you realize your offspring look nothing like the silicone bag bearing, botox injected, liposucked, rhinoplasted, forehead lifted, and tummy tucked person you call your wife. When you realize you've been duped and that your wife hasn't fully revealed the quantity of plastic surgery she's had done. This epiphany may also be triggered by a family photo causing you to suddenly understand why your wife looks as if she just stepped out of Vogue compared to the more homely qualities of your children.
Jim (watching wife give birth in operating room)...Hey what the f***. That's not my child!

Doctor: Oh yes it is! It's just another case of DNA WhatTheHey! Happens all the time.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
