As the other person said, it’s What about you, but typically we say Wbu? Which is “What 'bout u?” It’s the same meaning.
We also say “hbu?” Which means “How about you?”.

wby or wbu is the abbreviation of what about you?

@Daisy9898 it can be. This isn't a formal part of speech, just something someone made up, and it spread through their friends to lots of people.

@askrahn yes, you are correct. But now the abbreviation "wbu" or "hbu" is very commonly used amongst friends or relative (informal) and it's being used by many people.

It's short for "what about you".
Also, "Hby" means pretty much the same thing, "How about you"
