(slang) How are you?.
A casual, breezy American greeting meaning 'how are you?' or 'what's up?' — the kind of opener you use with a mate rather than a boss. It has an intentionally relaxed, slightly irreverent feel, and the anatomical double meaning is usually understood and cheerfully ignored by both parties. It signals familiarity and ease; you don't ask a stranger how it's hanging. The phrase belongs to the vocabulary of low-stakes social check-ins between friends, teammates, or colleagues comfortable enough to skip the formalities.
