what do you know
Doubting someone's knowledge
What do you know is an exclamation of mild surprise at unexpected information or a coincidence: What do you know, we're on the same flight.
It can also be a genuine question about someone's knowledge of a subject: What do you know about the situation?
The rhetorical version often carries a tone of pleased discovery.
