A rhetorical question, generally in the form of an insulting chant, accompanied by finger-pointing; meant as abuse to a single person or team performing in front of a crowd, by indicating that they are unknown and insignificant.
Abuse is aimed at two groups:
1) An unknown competitor, whose relative anonymity is highlighted even further.
2) Paradoxically, a well-known competitor whose high credibility and status is undermined in an act of defiance by pretending to regard the competitor as unknown or insignificant.
Abuse is aimed in two ways:
1) When the competitor is announced.
2) When the competitor is performing badly.
The phrase is often used in sport, particularly at football matches in the UK.

"Who are you?" is usually pronounced "Who are ya?!", with emphasis on the word "are".
1) Liverpool (big football club) v Grimsby (small football club):
Announcer : "On to the pitch comes...Grimsby"
Liverpool fans : "Who are ya?! Who are ya?! Who are ya?!..."
2) Leyton Orient (small football club) v Chelsea (big football club)
The Chelsea player, Didier Drogba, misses a clear chance of scoring a goal and falls over badly, clutching his knee in agony.

a rhetorical phrase that insinuates that the person who is being spoken to is either strange or a moron.
the person being spoken to with usualy reply with their full name but you're never actually looking for an answer, hence it being rhetorical.

Mall Monkey writer Keith Smith's catch phrase. He says it frequently due to the fact that he despises going to the mall on his own time.

Originating on Cape Cod; a greeting between friends... (or enemies)... based on a line from one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies, taken off an internet soundboard used to prank call people w/the governator's voice. Rapidly gaining popularity wherever its original users are in college... from Florida to New England. On one legendary occasion, yours truly got Ahhnold himself to say "who ahh you!?" when the terminator was sited at Gold's Gym on the Cape.
