No... really?

A sarcastic way of saying, "you just stated the obvious."

Typically used in the presence of a stupid person.

Similar to no shit

Normal person: no... really?

Really?

a word said when you can't believe that someone has said, asked or done something so stupid, unbelievable, or unbelievably stupid. Often said very sarcastically.

1."John borrowed my car for 3 days, and didn't put any gas in it. Then asked to use it again. I was like, 'Really, dude?'"

2."Megan slept with that guy on the first date, then cried when he didn't call her back. All I could say was 'Really? What'd you expect to happen?'"

but really

1. a phrase people say when they actually mean something that might have come off a bit sarcastic.
2. a phrase that can be added to the end of a statement when a person seriously means what they're saying

1. "i've been thinking about sellling my car haha.. but really, i need the money"
2. "Oh my god, sometimes i just want to shoot her. But Really! She can't keep her mouth shut!"

Really?

A brief yet unoriginal way to question the integrity of a person or an act. Implies "I'm so unimpressed with this, and disappointed in you for doing such a thing." Appears on social networking sites as a way for people to share news on something that has happened in the world and state their opinion on it, but without going to the trouble of elaborating.

Perhaps a byproduct of a world with too much quick access to information, the necessity of forming quick opinions about such information, and the lack of any obligation to defend these opinions.

Really, UCSD? Really?

really!?!

When spoken with the correct inflection it successfully embodies irony, disbelief and condescension. The sarcastic tone is key to capturing the true wit. Reference Weekend Update (with Seth and Amy) on the January 20, 2007, episode of SNL for the proper delivery technique.

matthew: We look good, people need to see us.
kate: really!?!
