For example, “I have a meeting in 5 minutes but my toddler just spilled cereal all over the kitchen, I don’t know WTD!” Or, “He sent me a really vague reply and I honestly have no idea WTD.” It could also be framed as a question, asking someone for advice. Someone could write, “I’m at a loss — any idea WTD?” This invites a response from the other person to weigh in and give their opinion.
