- Mark, Tim, you guys want to have a drink?

WHATEVER YOU ARE= You say this when you don’t know exactly what they are. WHATEVER means “it doesn’t matter what” or even “I don’t know what”.

WE ARE TOAST= (col.) We’re done, this is the end of us; we are in big big trouble (a piece of toast is a piece of bread which is baked).
