Q: So I recently moved to a state where ive noticed that most people say "what's good" as a greeting. Where I'm from originally , most people say "what's up" instead. 'What's up' is easy to answer cause you can just say "not much" or say what your up to. But when people ask me "what's good" I feel like I shouldn't say "not much" or "nothing" cause that seems like it would be very depressing. "What's good?"... "Not much"....that makes me seem sad. Are you familiar with the "what's good" greeting? How would you normally respond? Am I supposed to just think of any random thing that I think is good?
A: that is a good point. yes i am familiar with what's good, but i don't know what the current default response is. nor to what's up, to be honest. although actually they both mean "hi" or "hey", so "what's up" is actually an ok response to any of them. a few years ago, 'chillin' was actually a very default response to 'what's up', but i fear that i've been living in a cave for so long that that has most likely shifted since then. and it would be very helpful if someone in the know could actually update me on this
