sups

Takes evening meal

Sups is informal for "what's up?"—a casual greeting or check-in: Sups, how's it going?

The word also serves as the third-person singular of sup, an old-fashioned verb meaning to eat supper or drink in small amounts: She sups on broth.

In plural noun form, sups can mean light evening meals, though this usage is rare outside literary contexts.
