  1. Could any British person possibly explain exactly what the phrase "What are you like?"/"What's s/he like?" means? bebe1

      I asked a close British friend of mine and he simply said "It's asking what someone's personality is like." 

      It's like going up to someone and asking "What is Jake's personality?" without saying personality lol

      Oh OK, I've seen it in a couple of British sitcoms and I wasn't sure rip2 For example on The IT Crowd they do a prank call ordering a pizza with extra grapes and they're chortling "Grapes?! What are you like?!", between that and some others I thought maybe it meant something close to a rhetorical "What's with you?" bebe1

      It is a more light-hearted way of saying "what is wrong with you?" ellie1 So you were pretty much correct!
