Used a bit more discriminately, and you'd have pretty good go-to quip with "do what now?" It's different from "gosh" and it's different from "oh dear".

But it shouldn't be diluted by you simply using it when you are lazy or uninterested and short of something apt to say: save it for when it might sum up what others are thinking with economical erudition.

Sorry to be so inside-baseballish about this aspect of forum craft.

I never "got" My Space, Pearl Jam, or that margarine called "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter".

I'm not the smartest guy but I think the Gambrel is saying shut the F up
🤔

Do what now could be code for shut up.

I'm still analyzing but I'm sure I'm right.

I'll test it on the lettuce patches 🤔

I never got the appeal of films derived from comic books.

@FMF

Shut up and help me collect the lettuce.

Using it against you is spot-on usage, of course, regardless of your desperate whitewashing of it.

I never “got”, why my parents insisted we eat the broccoli, saying it would put “hair on your chest”. When I asked why my sister and mother would want “hair on their chests”, my parents gave each other that, he’s got a point there look.😲
