Does this mean anything? Or does it just mean "wagwan"

'why go on'

ahhh .... fuck .... cool ... how apt

― mentalist (mentalist), Thursday, 22 January 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

what's going on

I'd always heard it as "what happened?", but then I've never seen the lyrics on paper.

isn't that Marvin Gaye? (heh heh) why go on sounds just right though

― mentalist (mentalist), Thursday, 22 January 2004 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

it may sound right but i've heard 'wagwan' said a lot effectively meaning 'what's up/happening' so...

fair enough, i am as far away from the source as can be

stevem is right it means "what's happening? what's going on?"

*brings back horrible memories of Johnny Vaughn saying 'wat a' gwan' on his chat show*

it's short for "what's going on," usually written "wha gwarn" and often used as a rhetorical question.

i thought that was quite funny at first, but then i quite like Vaughan (not on BBC tho) - you should've seen his proto-Ali G character on the Big Breakfast ("mun you iz da lick" etc.)
