In internet slang, “What Had Happened Was” is a phrase commonly used to provide an explanation or backstory to a situation, often humorous or exaggerated. It is typically used to acknowledge that something unexpected or unusual occurred, then proceeding to reveal the true events that took place.
Examples:
Dave: “Why were you late to the party last night?”
John: “Oh, man, you won’t believe it! What had happened was, I was driving when suddenly a herd of goats crossed the road, and I had to wait for them to pass.”
Amy: “I saw you at the store with Mike yesterday. What’s going on?”
Lisa: “Well, what had happened was, we bumped into each other, and he accidentally spilled his coffee all over my shirt. So to make it up, he offered to buy me a new one.”
