Hey, Ivor!

Fyi, "What's happenin?" is a largely retired {at least among African Americans} colloquial greeting that basically means the same thing as "How are you?" and How'r ya doing and "What's up?"- meaning that these are frequently asked questions that are usually answered with a perfunctory remark like "Alright" or "Okay" or "Fine".

Though I don't at all mind you taking me literally, in day to day greetings, especially when people are greeting each other in a quick & in hurry kind of way, they don't usually share the good, bad and the ugly details of what is going on with them or what is going on in the world.

One response to "What's happenin? was- "Well, things have been rough but at least we're still in the land of the living".

That's my response today to that question.
