what are you yapping about

When someone is saying something that is either annoying, complicated, not believable or you simply don't know what else to say, you just ask them what they're yapping about.

what you know about that

A phrase vaguely assuming that someone doesn't know something unlike you. Usually used by anyone who can't stand the fact that somebody young or old may know more than what you do.

Example 1/ Girl: Hey auntie I saw West Side Story some days back and I just love it. Especially that ending.

Auntie: What you know about that? That's my movie stop playing yourself. I saw it in theaters.

Girl: But you told me that you've only seen half of the movie in theaters when it came out because you fell asleep. You've never watched it again.????

Auntie: you'll understand when your 70.

Girl: lol....... yeah sure

Example 2/ Beehive fan: I love my hit jam Irreplaceable by the God Beyonce.

Beyonce: what you know about that??? I wrote the song. Bow down b******.

Ne-Yo: b**** please I wrote that song

Beehive fan: quiet Ne-Yo the Royal Queen is talking.
