The 'what' is one of the most puzzling and ubiquitous entities in the known universe. It has consistently baffled philosophers, scientists, and the occasional intergalactic wanderer. 'What' is often the first word in a series of increasingly despairing words, such as 'where,' 'why,' and the lesser-known 'whither' which is only used by those who have read too much fancy literature or own a time machine. Not to be confused with 'watt,' the unit of power, 'what' can diminish the power of any conversation by requiring the questioner to repeat themselves.
When traveling the cosmos, carry a pocket universal translator. It can turn your 'whats' into 'oh, I sees' in over fifty million languages.
The 'what' can be stumbled upon in cosmic conversations, at the crossroads of confusion and mystification, or during any exchange with a Vogon (who are not only terrible poets but also notoriously hard to understand).
Avoid using 'what' in the presence of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, as it might mistake it for an invitation for hors d'oeuvres (you being the hors d'oeuvres). Also, refrain from uttering 'what' in the Great Library of Shhh, as it's likely to result in ejection into the nearest black hole.
The record for the most 'whats' in a single conversation is held by two Betelgeusian tourists who, upon arriving at Earth, were so bewildered by human customs that their dialogue consisted entirely of 'whats' for three consecutive hours.

The wallet.dat, not to be confused with a wallet gnat (a pesky insect known to feast upon fiscal responsibility), is in fact a file teeming with digital richness, often comprising a cryptocurrency enthusiast's entire life savings, encrypted memories of regrettable impulsive purchases, and enough alphanumeric characters to make a Victorian typewriter blush. This precious file contains the private keys for accessing one's virtual trove of crypto coins. While entirely lacking the charisma of a leather-bound wallet or the velvety touch of a moth-eaten purse, it is very much sought after by modern space-age pickpockets, known in some sectors as 'hackers' or 'mom' when she's figured out your computer password again.

Walletbackup: an obscure and rarely understood phenomenon in the financial sectors of the galaxy. It is, in essence, the act of producing a duplicate of one's wallet, complete with expired membership cards and out-of-circulation currency from now defunct planetary systems. Many an interstellar traveller has mused over whether their walletbackup should contain the same number of ancient receipts and unidentifiable loyalty cards as their original. Some scholars argue that a perfect walletbackup must also replicate the exact crumbliness of long-forgotten biscuits tucked away in its deepest compartments.
