I claim all rights to the following term
Howsya?!
An unconventional greeting used mostly to greet someone, as in "Howsya dude?!". Although it is a question, it requires no reply. Originally in 2004, this expression is an inquiry after a person's health or standing, meaning "how do you fare?" It can be safely used as a replacement for expressions such as How are you? or How are you doing? or How goes it? or How's it going? It can even be used to replace more slangy locutions like How are things? or How's tricks? All of these greetings date from the first half of the 1900s and should be abandoned in the pursuit of kooler language.
Grammar
The question mark ('?') and exclamation mark ('!') are mandatory after each sentence using this word.
Examples :
1. Howsya dude?!
2. Howsya family buds?!
3. Booyakasha! Howysa O king of kings?!
Caveats
Please do not use this expression unless you are a very kool person. Situations have been reported where less qualified individuals have received uncomfortable expressions like blank stares and curious looks (akin to those one expresses while seeing a three legged toad) by recipients of this expression.
Kool-Aid
"Howsya" is not to be confused with "Howsyu" or "Howsyou", both of which are unkool expressions.
Forthcoming Attractions
'Wothcerdoon?!'
Teaser Information : 'Wotcherdoon?!' was first seen in Asterix comics. This expression is green even today and a little known gem.
Other Information : People who don't like Asterix comics are mostly unkool people as per statistical percentages.
