Why like this?

A phrase highly used in India, which expresses the speakers dissatisfaction and discontent of an action or statement made by the other party.
The expression has an Hebrew equivalent: 'Lama Ka-Cha', and it is uncertain whther the roots are ill spoken english by Indian folk, that was then translated into hebrew or vice versa.

Possibly the most cynical use of this word can be found written on the jump board of Nepal's famous 160m bungee jump.

Traveler: I won't pay you 50 rupies for this short trip
Rickshaw driver: Why like this?

the eternal question.

I was feeling a bit 'existential-ish', and I said to him, "why bother?" He replied, "we're having takeout pizza tonight".

Why a duck

Definition: To incorrectly hear the word, "viaduct".

This phrase came from the Marx Brothers' film "Cocoanuts"

Hammer: I'm all right. How are you? I say here is a little penninsula, and here is a viaduct leading to the mainland.
Chico: All right. Why a duck?

why are there corn?

A question once phrased in Biology class, due to frustration to the ridiculous questions being asked in class. Can be used as a question to a hard task one is faced with (usually in frustration or anger).

Mr. D: O.K. class, tonight's homework is CH. 1 sections 1-4 and all review questions.
Tom (frantically flipping through his book): Good Lord!!! Why are there corn?
Tom P: What the hell did you just say?
Tom: Nevermind, man. You wouldn't understand my anger right now.

what but why

A question to show someone that you did hear them but are wondering why they even said or did the stated in the first place.

Typically spoken with tonality or discust. And the Y is noted and pitched to emphasise the retoric of the question.

It ends up sounding like...What...but why.eye!

Did you know that i 'enter something viol and discusting'!

What but why!

Why the Fuck Not?

When you're so thrilled or excited, your best friend suggests doing something ABSOLUTELY stupid, and you go along with it because...well...

Why the fuck not?

Why did you shoot fireworks off your yacht while on a bender? It's September.
