Here in Australia we have a particularly annoying lighthearted greeting: "Whadda ya know?"
Mostly said by middle-aged to old men in an ocker twang.
I'm not sure what the appropriate response is; some equally banal cliche no doubt, but I can never manage a response, my brain temporarily frozen in distaste at the ludicrous shallow vacuousness of workplace conversation.
