I'll start:
In danish there was a fad of people saying "Spurgt?". It literally meant "asked?" as in "who asked you?", but the shorter form and the context of the phrasing made it so it was both more demeaning and more versatile. It would often be used if someone said some weird take, bragged out of nowhere or the like. Sort of like a verbal
mixed with stfu-vibes. I dunno, it's not deep or anything but I'm just trying to convey that while there are adjacent phrasings in english (like "wat" which conveys that the recipient does not understand something and that the thing is in some way weird), none quite cover the same usage.
Edit: bonus - "træls" an adjective that signifies something/someone is both tiring and annoying/frustrating/hard-to-work-with
Maybe like "cool story bro"?
Yeah sorta
