Does anyone else feel “what’s up?” is one of the most annoyingly useless ways to greet a person there is? I mean, wtf do you reply with? “nothing”? “not much”? what fucken use is that? I understand that most greetings are cursory anyway and not really looking for meaningful answers, but at least if someone greets you with “hey” you can just shoot it back and the greeting part of your conversation is swiftly over.
I’ve got a friend who only ever “wassups” me and it’s FUCKEN ANNOYING.
(note - I’m the kind of person that doesn’t follow up a hello with a “how are you?” unless I actually give a crap about the person’s well-being. methinks my problem might just be anti-social tendencies)
Now THAT is one of the most annoyingly useless ways to respond.
If someone asks “what’s up”, the proper answer would be to, y’know, tell him what you’re doing. “Oh, I’m off to murder a hundred people… toodle-oo!” Or: “Not much, just planning to masturbate in a public restroom.” Or: “Oh, I’m just gonna go start an idiotic thread about people that ask ‘What’s up?’ because I think my ‘The sky, fuckhead’ response is so witty!”
There are literally millions of possible answers to the question “What’s up?” And you call that useless?
If it was good enough for Bugs Bunny, it’s good enough for me. Though the exagerated Martin Lawrence version got pretty old pretty quickly. Wassssssuuuuppp!
My foot in ur arse thats whats up mother fucker. I also doughnut like the “sup?” thing, and I only ever use it if I want to pretend I am a young black American in da hood yo!
We retired “hi” during the Reagan years as part of the “Just say NO (except to astrology)” campaign.
“Hey” is just the misspelling of “hay” that we were supposed to use to indicate our return to good family values as we turned back to our agrarian roots.
