WYD is also being used as a dating one-liner, disguised as a pleasantry but obviously hinting at a one-night stand. For example, your friend could share a picture of a particularly unsavory dish and ask if you’d eat it, “WYD if your server brought you this?” WYD would then mean “What do you do?”, challenging you as a joke or in search of a funny reaction. The second context for using WYD could be a sarcastic challenge to a person to cause a reaction. The standard social response to such a person would be WYD, meaning “What you doing!” It expresses outrage or bewilderment at the other person. But WYD can also be used as a form of mockery at someone who has just said something outrageous or unbelievable. It is without any sarcastic allusions or hidden and alternate meanings. The first context for using WYD would be one of friendly banter.

As a question, “WYD” would most correctly be understood as meaning “what are you doing?”. Wyd is a text-speak abbreviation for “What (are) you doing?” It was first defined on Urban Dictionary on 2009.
