You get a call from someone or you call someone and the first words out of their mouths are:
"Hey, whadda ya know?"
Dead stop. Train of thought instantly derails, conversation ball rolls under the couch. Is he asking me a question? Is he thinking out loud? What do I know? I know lots of things... how, what? WTF do I say to something like that?
Similar to this is
"Hey what have you been up to?"
And they're not really asking. This isn't an opening conversation gambit, it's just something said as a greeting. What have I been up to? Slam on the conversation brakes. Screeeeeeeeeeeeech. I've been up to a lot and nothing at all, WTF do I say to something like that?

You're supposed to answer, "Not much...you?" especially if you are from Wisconsin. ;)

Um, how the heck is that pronounced, anyway? ??? Three syllables? "Bee-oy-tich"? Two syllables? "Bee-oytch"? ???
