bananas?
Cutting sarcastic putdown used by a maths teacher, when a pupil answers a question without stating the units.
TEACHER: "what's the volume of a cube with sides of 2cm each?"
PUPIL: "eight"
TEACHER: "eight what? bananas?"
Pupils would often fall out of their chairs and asphyxiate with laughter.

Also accepted as an inherently funny thing, like bananas are, are elephants. Hence "Eight what? Elephants?"
Reminiscent of that stage of mental development when simply saying "mango" was funny.

A further alternative was:
Pupil : Sixteen
Mr. MacPherson : You nit!
Pupil : Sorry, sir - sixteen Joules
Here, the amusing similarity between 'unit' (the missing unit of measurement) and the ludicrously mild term of abuse 'You Nit' assured hilarity. *cough* As did said Mr. MacPherson's habit of calling Richard Williams 'Willy Bums'.

Our Maths teacher Mr Batchelor's comedy units were "Pigs". eg "10 what? Pigs?". Try imagining it in a Bolton accent. Or maybe you had to be there.

In a similar vein:
"Miss, can I see the headmaster?"
"No, you can't because there's a wall in the way. Did you mean MAY I see the headmaster?"
In the end it was easier to just say "Miss? Fuck off." because it got you to see the headmaster more quickly.

You left off the xenith-like follow-up statement of "Units! I need Units, boy!" which became so well established that our maths teacher, Mr Burns, became simply known as 'Unit' - Hmmm, sorry, perhaps you had to be there.

Charlie Webb implies that he has passed through the stage where saying 'mango' is funny. Pragmatically thiks statement suggests that Mango ism no longer a funny thing to say. What is wrong with you you humourless twat? Think you're better than us do you you fucking gay Alevel tryhard homogirl!

The suitable response to "...what, bananas?" is actually "Oh, piss off." followed by walking out of the classroom.
This was only done once, by Clive Wood (the surprisingly popular, camp, class eccentric) We were in year 11, the teacher should have known better.
