| Comments: | I agree with Marcus. An EJ dictionary wouldn't include a "上に何が..." sense for "what's up?" just to cover usage like "what's up there?" Also, "what it is" isn't so much a separate sense as a different parsing of the words. The "so what?" meaning is more interesting but I'm not sure it's needed as an entry. |

| Comments: | I don't think that first sense belongs here. When it comes to literal and other meanings of expressions that aren't included in other dictionaries, I think we probably err on the side of inclusion a little too often. Sometimes we have to trust that users will understand that an expression can be a set phrase while also have another meaning if it appears in another context, that isn't really worth noting. I'd be ok with just deleting this too. |
