When you are so incredibly shocked/surprised all you can say is: what. Not with a question mark, just a monotone, what.
Julia: Hey, I need to tell you something.
Robert: What is it?
Julia: Iâm pregnant.
Robert: What.
When someone is talking so fast or talking about such nonsensical things you canât understand that you just have to hold your hand up and say, wait, what? Also used as an expression of surprise.
Example 1:
Julie: OMIGOSH Jessica, the craaaaziest thing happened today ooh crayfish anywaaaay so yeah the absolutely most crazy thing yeah so Anna was like whaaat and I was like whaaat and Jordan was like what are you whaaating about and like-
Jessica: Wait, what?
Example 2:
Daughter: Hey, mom.
Mom: Hey. Your belly is kinda bloated. You ate a lot today, huh?
Daughter: Oh, actually, Iâm pregnant. Did I not tell you?
Mom: Wait, what?
