What is another word for how should/do I know??
Pronunciation: [hˌa͡ʊ ʃˌʊd slˈaʃ dˈuː a͡ɪ nˈə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
When someone asks us a question that we cannot answer, or that we find irrelevant or unreasonable, we might respond with "how should/do I know?" This phrase implies a sense of unfamiliarity or uncertainty, and can be seen as dismissive or even rude. However, there are many other ways to convey the same sentiment while remaining polite and respectful. Some synonyms for "how should/do I know?" include "I'm not sure," "I don't have an answer for that," "I'm not in a position to know," "That's not my area of expertise," and "I think you might be asking the wrong person." By using alternative phrases, we can avoid sounding dismissive or unhelpful.
