It's colloquial, "illegally" ending with a preposition.

More formal: "About what are you talking?"

@Nonong: The rule that you can't send a sentence in a preposition is made up by prescriptivist grammarians. They liked it that way because that's how Latin works.

While the it is still taught in some schools, most English speakers have ignored the rule since it was made up, and there is not really a strong basis for it existing.

Even English language authorities such as Merriam-Webster (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OLxLK_R6jQ) and Oxford Dictionaries (http://www.oxforddictionaries.c...tions-american) say that a preposition is a perfectly appropriate kind of word to end a sentence with.

In Canada, ending with prepositions in English is still considered bad English, though acceptable colloquially. There's, of course, influence in thinking from the USA.

Note that Oxford is a British university, not American. So disregarding that rule is not just an American thing; it's a much more world-wide phenomenon.

In Canada, in essay-writing in English, ending a sentence with a preposition is a no-no. But as I said, it's acceptable colloquially--in speaking!

Essays aren't done in neutral style though. It's formal style. Formal style doesn't equate to written style. Neutral style accepts these sentences well. Doesn't have to be colloquial.
