sup

Breezy check-in

Sup is a casual greeting, a clipped form of "what's up": Sup, how's it going?

The word works as both question and acknowledgment—you can say sup without expecting a real answer.

As an older, unrelated verb, sup means to eat supper or sip liquid, now mainly literary: He supped on bread and broth.
