why on earth

A phrase used for emphasis in the beginning of a question, usually because the speaker is incredulous. Why on earth would you let the kids have candy for dinner? That is so unhealthy! I understand that you had to let the dog out in the rain, but why on earth didn't you dry him off when he came back in?
