If you didnt hear what someone said, what do you usually reply with?

This girl i met from Canada says "pardon" and said that saying "what" or "huh" is rude. Well you're in America now! Lol. Some people do say "excuse me" or "pardon" but thats rare. Its what, huh, say that again, etc etc

I usually say “Excuse me?”
I might say “What?” if I know the person pretty well.
I’ll generally only use “Huh?” if I did hear what was said, but find it unlikely.

@DragonFruit I have a horrible habit of saying something like "huh? Oh yeah blah blah blah" because my mouth starts making noise before my brain has fully grasped the meaning of your message.

@Doomflower It doesn’t bother me, as I know a lot of people do that, but when I was practicing law I got into the habit of using words that wouldn’t be misinterpreted....and I certainly wouldn’t accuse anyone saying that of being rude.

@DragonFruit this explains so much.
