What's the John?

British rhyming slang that's been shortened more times than a game of telephone, originating from "What's the story?" becoming "What's the John Dory?" (a type of fish) and finally just "What's the John?" Essentially means "What's going on?" or "What's the deal with that?" It's Cockney slang for people who like their questions with extra steps.
