wassup

Hey, what's happening?

Wassup is a casual greeting, a relaxed spelling of "what's up": Wassup, man?

The word gained wide recognition from a late-1990s beer commercial featuring friends shouting it at each other.

Like "what's up," it asks how someone is doing without expecting a detailed answer.
