If fill-in-the-blank questions are nonsense, why aren't ones like, "Hey, whatta ya say?"

I don't think fill-in-the-blank questions are really nonsense. It can be a fun challenge to think of something interesting or clever. Questions like "Hey, whatta ya say" (and things along those lines) don't really elicit a response from me. Unlike f.i.t.b. questions, they offer no general guideline and could be answered any old way. It is difficult to know what the question asker is seeking, whereas in a f.i.t.b. it is obvious, at least to me. I don't, however, find those random questions too annoying or anything, because I just pass by questions I don't want to answer and don't dwell on the issue. A little nonsense is good for all of us, anyway! :)

I think it depends on each question. If a question says something like: I like _____________. I would consider it nonsense. But if the question seemed to make sense, but had a blank in it, I would consider it ok. If you ask something like "Yo, sup?", it seems like nonsense. But on something like "Why are you holding that?" people can have fun thinking of creative responses. The only thing that really bugs me is when people post things that aren't questions, have bad spelling/grammar, or make no sense.
