what's your angle?

synonym of "What's your deal?"

the speaker is asking the other person what his/her intentions or motives are, often in a cynical manner.

Think of it like chess, what view do you have of the situation? What's you're perspective on it? What're you trying to accomplish?

*friend never hangs out with group*
friend: "hey you wanna come hang out at my place?"
me: "what's your angle?"

disclaimer: I've never used this, I just found it on twitter and wanted to define it for us out-of-the-loop-ers
