And the most frequently used (if not the only used) query: "What's up
with that?" Which can mean
- how did that happen?
- why did that happen?
- did that happen?
- will that happen?
- what does that mean?
- what do you think about that?
or probably almost anything else that can end with a question mark.
BTW, I think your conjugation must be the formal and rarely used one.
IME, the present tense is the only one ever employed. So in
describing a conversation that occurred yesterday, one might say
"So I'm like, 'What's up with that?' and he's like ..."
