whattaya hear, whattaya say

What does “whattaya hear, whattaya say” even really mean?
Like sure, it’s fun to quote, but has anyone thought about the context of what is being said?

I dont wanna sound like an asshole but I really can't be seen around complete stupidity like this anymore



even after getting soft drinks of choice?


I dunno, to me this isn't even in the top 75th percentile of dumb shit posted on here daily (what's your favorite line to say [as if that hasn't been asked 900 times], why is Tony's house so big, etc.).

I mean, it's an etymological question, which is always interesting to me.



But here you are anyway;



It means sit on this cocksucker.



Did you hear what I said tone…he said, “what does whattya hear, whattya you say mean?” I said, “it means sit on this cocksucker!”


Let’s eh see how goooud you survive theisss!!!



Why don’t you take your quotation book and shove it up your fucking ass!



Quazi Modo predicted all of this



That’ll be made abundantly clear to you



I don’t think they like you very much



In time everything will be revealed to you



*Never gets made abundantly clear*



It's basically "What's up?"



Let me hear you say, "What's up, Vito?"



More “what’s going on?” Or “what’s new?”



Hasidum but I dont believe em



That’s not a bill, that’s a beak.



See ya later, fruitcake



All-Seeing Upvote
Jimmy Cagney said that a lot in Angels With Dirty Faces. Some of the writers and Tony Sirico were big Cagney fans. It means what’s up.



He was gay, Jimmy Cagney?



It means: What do you hear? What do you say?

*(Ok I won't be a wormy cocksucker; it means What's going on?)


It means, I can get a note from my doctor! It was my heart medication



A note sayin you don’t like to shuck cock??



What are ya writin ya own fucking gossip column now??!!



Jesus can't a guy just say somethin, widout some deepa meanin?



Like others have said it means “what’s up?”. Don’t overthink it:

“Whatta ya hear?” = What have you been hearing lately? Current events? News? Gossip?

“Whatta ya say?” = and what about you? What do you have going on?




"Hello sir, would you like to share the latest gossip, or perhaps offer your commentary on subjects of interest?"



I know this is the Sopranos sub, but I should NOT have had to scroll down this far to find the actual answer to the question



It means sit on this cocktail suckah


Can you believe this fuckin’ guy?!…



What am I asking you for? You prolly taught her how



I heard Op nearly drowned in 3 inches of water at the penguin exhibit.



It's really not that hard.

"Whattaya hear?" = "Any good gossip?"

"Whattaya Say?" = "What information are you willing to impart to me at this time?"

It's mainly just a more verbose form of "What's up?"



it's very allegorical



It means you have a dr’s note


License and registration! How about I give you one of these! (Points gun) I'm wearing a vest! Oh yeah!? If I shoot it's going in your braijole! Your a real sick fuck you know that!? HeHeHe....



Sounds like an old timey “what’s up?”

I always assumed it's some mobby wobby saying like "hear nothing, say nothin" cause ya know, crime.



Rosemary? I'll eat her



It means this subreddit is filled with retarded dildos



I don't know but if say hopalong che sadic' before it you're about to die

What are you, fucking stupid? Huh?



chubby_pancakes

It means don’t shake Vito’s hand in the grocery store. Someone might see


When Tony says hi to Christopher, what does it actually mean?



That saying was one of James Cagney in Angels with dirty faces I believe. An old-time gangster movie before ONLY Italians were cast as gangsters. This was Rocky Sullivan.

The line actually is. Whadda ya hear whadda ya say Jerry.


Fuck you think it means



He was gay, whattaya say?



I think it means, “Have you heard anything, have you seen anything?”



I don’t give a fuck what it means!! Alright, I do give a fuck what it means.
