What
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A valid response to an overly lengthy journal entry or comment. Also used in response to an entry, question, comment, forum post, etc. that is just completely un-fucking-believably stupid. WHAT is always a worthwhile addition to any conversation, demonstrating one's superior intellect and mastery of the English language. It was created by gay It was created by the internets. Whenever you find yourself in a situation on the internets where your opinion really matters, WHAT is for you! It also apparently originating from the Something Awful forums, specifically FYAD. Something Awful invents everything, kind of like Al Gore and blacks. "What" is, of course, a bannable offense on SA nowadays.
Contrary to popular opinion, no one speaks English in What.
The use of 'what' is something that Sony ensures to employ in every Playstation 3 commercial. This is because they know that if they actually used any information about the console nobody would buy one. So instead, they broadcast 30 seconds of random bullshit and you go and spend over $9000. Isn't capitalism fun?

- IIJonasBrotherFanFANII: Well might I say old pal upon reading your message I was met with a combination of both surprise and quite a tingling sensation below the left ear. Why is this you might ask? I was infected with herpes... on the ear. Yes on the ear. Why is this you might ask good sir? In 2006 I was experimenting with a very good moral friend and a nondetachable artifact imitating the human male's reproductive organ and my friend... I'll call him Bill, because that was his name, decided it would be fun to blindfold me and make me think his own disease-ridden reproductive organ was our experimenting device. He then proceeded to ram the whole thing in my ear. Barely a near death experience! Ha! As you see this unfortunate case hasn't affected my sense of humor yet. Clearly the friend wasn't as good as I thought, heh! Till next time, I'll keep you posted good sir... if the STDs don't kill me by then! Hah! Or was that in bad taste? If so, sorry, I did not intend this by any means.
