What else is new?

What you say when hearing old news, when something bad but predictable happens to you or when someone brings up something that's long lost its novelty.

Guy 1: "They're out of your favourite coffee."
You: "What else is new?"

Guy 2: "Life sucks."
You: "Yeah, what else is new."

Guy 3: "Pain really hurts."
You: (Just gives him a glance that says "what else is new".) But if he really is stupid enough to make a statement like that, maybe you should have said it in words.

What else is new?

A sarcastic phrase referring to an altogether predictable and meh revelation, literally meaning - so do you have something else that's real news?

Monica : Joey smells gas!
Chandler : So what else is new?
