no shit

Tell me something

No shit is a vulgar exclamation expressing that something is obvious or already known: No shit, Sherlock.

It can also convey genuine surprise or confirmation when new information lands: No shit? They actually got married?

The tone—sarcastic or sincere—depends entirely on context and delivery.
