how does that grab you?

Take a look at the expression from the title. Have you ever been asked something like that? If not, keep reading. You'll learn a very different way to ask something simple. I say it's simple because it's a question you may ask people all the time.

For example, you're talking to a friend of yours when you remember you've got some news to tell. So you say: Hey, remember that girl you used to like in high school? She's a lesbian now. How does that grab you? When you make a question like that, what you want to know is nothing but what the other person thinks of something. It's like asking: What do you think of that? The expression employs the verb grab in the sense of "excite one's interest or attention". Nice, isn't it? I hope you find yourself using that slang many times from now on. Talk to you next time!
