Why?

So the word "why" is kinda a big deal.  You will ALWAYS here it.  Usually they use why instead of what.  So if a kid is crying the teacher will walk up to it and just say, "Why? why? why? why?"

You say why in Korean like "whey"  Then, if someone doesn't like something they get really whiny  and say, "Whhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyy?"  Oh boy, even adults will say stuff like that.  Usually, like 20-30 something year olds will still sound like an annoying child.  You'll be walking down the street and hear a "Wwhhhhhheeeeeeeeyyyyyy," in the distance and roll your eyes.  You'll do a double roll if you hear the guy saying it and not the girl.

Usually my friends and I will say it mockingly, but really the joke is on us because it's stuck.  Now we too, sound like a little annoying child.  Im going to have to control that.
