YOU WHAT?
YOU WHAT? by Kenton Makings October 30, 2018

You what youuu what 

You've have just had some great news.. ie a bet has come in or an all clear test result from the clap clinic. Perfect for beginning to tell your friends about some good news you've just had. You must emphasise the second "what", building up to it creshendo style.
"You what youuu what, that curry paste did come out with soap and water"

tell you what 

A Southern United States phrase; it usually shows disgust or suprise with a situation or person.

Because the phrase tends to be used by itself, many people in the North US who hear it think that the speaker has not finished their sentence.
A, Southerner: "That Joel; I tell you what."
*a few seconds pass*
B, Northerner: "... What?"
A, Southerner: "I just TOLD you!"

show you what time it is

i tell you what 

chiefly southern, esp texan. added at the end of pretty much anything, esp to add exclamatory sense to a clause. has a somewhat cryptic meaning known only to southerners. so you non-hicks, stop trying.
