Now-whats

The feeling you have after tripping hard for eight hours. You're way past your peak and it's not really fun anymore. Nothing looks particularly cool and you have nothing interesting to say. You would like to sleep but cannot. You have a case of the now-whats.

That blotter was awesome, but now I have a wicked case of the now-whats. Should we candy-flip?

what now

Asked in a situation where you reach a point of no return or you have surpassed a dangerous obstacle and have survived the ordeal. 'What now' is also used as in,'where does this leave us', in terms of re-questioning your relationship status with someone.

what now

It is a question in most movie wherein the answer is "we wait". I'm sure you have heard or encountered this phrase being asked by the actor or some supporting actor to someone else especially in movies wherein the main characters are planning on something big... whether an escape, a rescue or whatever.

dude 1: what now?

dude 2: we wait.
