It's uncertain · It's impossible to know
Ever find yourself shrugging when asked about the future or something totally unpredictable? 'Who knows?' is your go-to phrase! 🤷♀️ It perfectly captures that 'I have no idea, and probably no one else does either' feeling. Great for casual chats about anything from lottery results to weekend plans.
💡 **Pro-Tip!** This expression isn't just about literally not knowing. It also implies that the outcome is uncertain or that the matter is beyond current knowledge or control. It can sometimes have a slightly dismissive or rhetorical tone, suggesting that dwelling on the unknown won't help. Use it when you want to express playful uncertainty rather than complete ignorance!
