Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Don't worry - I was kidding! I actually really like Wheel of Fortune.
again I ask, do you respond when someone says "how's it goin?" or "what's up?" Neither of those make sense in any way, but we've come to understand them as terms that are synonymous with "How are you?"
That sounded like a jab towards me GraphicMatt. I'm not complaining, I'm looking to keep up so I don't end up like the old man on my street that we all wondered if he had been a kid before.
Khristopher: the reason why I wanted to know more about this term is because I've seen regular people use it, not just "ghetto people or teenagers" like you say. The person who asked me "What you saying?" in the elevator was a twenty something guy in a suit.
I may be showing my age (I'm 30) but I seriously don't know what to reply to that.
You can be ghetto and still wear a suit. When I say ghetto, I usually mean the stereotypical rap listening people who smoke weed and like fast cars and chicks who look like they make porn.
None of my friends talk like this. I don't think it's a generational thing if you ask me. I think it's more of a cultural thing. If you take people from the time that this phrase came about, the majority in that age group probably don't say it, and probably never have.
no wonder you spell your name with a K.
