I did.
I just think if someone wants to post a legitimate topic (which I think this is, it would be cool to see all the weird s**t we pick up!), the post should at least kind of hint at what it is; otherwise, it will probably end up buried or suggested on a digital audio tape recommended topic.
In addition to that, I don't understand how "WAT" can portray "what" or what is usually phonetically pronounced "whut" or "wut." In American English, at least, the above would be pronounced in the same fashion as the word "watt," which really makes no sense at all- especially since this is, I think, meant to align with an African American sort of colloquial pronunciation, which would definitely align more with "wut," as it is more commonly spelled.
Primarily, I don't think "WAT DAT" falls under grammar, but more likely spelling (although it is a grammatical issue in a secondary way). If we substitute the appropriate spellings for these words, we'd get "WHAT THAT," which is really only lacking the apostrophe and the "s" on the end of "what." So, that is a relatively tiny grammatical issue compared to the rather severe spelling issues.
All of that aside- this is a fascinating thread, and people should start posting more pictures of interesting devices!
