Which phrase do you use when someone says something to you, you didn't hear them or what they said didn't make sense? I know there are different ones. Just curious.

I'm sorry, what?
You want to run that by me again?
Excuse Me?
I beg your pardon?

I just say "huh?".

friends from West Virginia taught me to say - "a-who said a-what-now?"

I'm fond of saying "What now, I didn't quite catch that"

My husband does a really funny impression of Suzanne Sugarbaker of Designing Women saying "Excuse Me, Excuse Me"

I usually say excuse me or pardon?

Excuse me?

How's that?

I usually say something along the lines of, "What did you say?" or "Pardon me?". I've found that when people say something lousy, particularly in a passive-aggressive way, they don't like to repeat it. Even more reason to ask them to do just that.

I always just say "WHAT?" and the person will just stare at me, pause and say"what?" or "what was that" or if someone else is listening they'll turn to that person and say "what'd he say?" and embarrass me-I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!:mad: :mad:

I prefer simply to say "pardon?"

I prefer to say Excuse me but sometimes I do say huh? or What? which I dislike.

I say. I'm sorry I didn't hear what you said, could you repeat?

I Beg Your Pardon

I usually say “I don’t understand”, please explain.”

I Beg Your Pardon
I'm surprised but pleased that this is still in usage. I would just say "Pardon?"
