Fancy that! · Imagine that! · What a surprise!
This expression is perfect when you encounter something a little bit surprising, or when you learn a new piece of information that makes you go, 'Well, isn't that interesting!' 🧐 It's not for huge, dramatic shocks, but for those 'Oh, I didn't expect that!' moments. ✨ It can also be used a bit ironically or rhetorically.
💡 **Pro Tip!** 'What do you know?' can be used in a few ways. Sometimes it's genuine surprise, like finding out a friend got a promotion. Other times, it's used rhetorically when someone states something obvious, almost like saying 'No kidding!' but with a twist. 😉 Pay attention to the tone of voice to understand the speaker's true feeling!
Which situation is NOT appropriate for using 'What do you know?'? A. 😱 You just found out your best friend won the lottery and became a millionaire overnight. B. 🤔 You learn that your colleague, who always complains about coffee, actually brings his own fancy blend every day. C. 🤩 You discover that your favorite band is playing a surprise concert in your city tonight.
