Another one that has just come to mind: you ask someone to do something and they answer "Wha'for?" ("What for?") == "Why?"
Actually this is also very old English and survives in modern Scandinavian languages like "Hvorfor"Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Accent and tone of voice could be defining elements here. Adding a picture of a rap band could override both.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
