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.

Oh thank you. thank you. thank you. Only people like you understand what unkool poeple like me have to go through. you have helped me more than you know. you are truly my agony aunt. only better because you are helping me with a problem I didn't even tell you about.
In your next write-up can you explain 'sup?
I realised how unkool I must have looked when one of the kool boys in my office said 'sup as he crossed me and I went into this long monologue .... 'the sky is up. but the sky that is up for us is down for people in the US of A. and for people in the US the sky that is up is actually below us.....'. it was then that i realised that he hadn't waited to hear my reply.
pls. agony aunt. help me.

Dear really kool (in spite of language) obscured child :
SOME KOOL-AID
Thou shall be proclaimed kool when thou doth not wince or seek confirmation(yes being kool is a zen thingie demanding complete acceptance of thy self) at having uttered the following:
'Sup?!
Whassup?!
Yowza!
Wotcherdoon?!
Ahemdoonutthin!
Me kool! Yay!
Sod it!
Add 'fying' to most if not all nouns/verbs to make them 'fying' verbs(ex: karo-karofying,sleep-sleepofying, khao-khaofying, maro-marofying, suno-sunofying etc)
Booyakasha!
…..etc

The following actions although not mandatory shall help you in attaining koolvana
1. You watch bad movies for the sake of making fun of them
2. You are frequently shushed in theatres because you cannot control your laughter at bad Hindi melodrama.
3. You like Seinfeld episodes and Asterix comics.
4. You laugh at Snoop Doggy Dog whenever he comes on screen
5. You can convince most people that Madonna's last name is 'Swaminathan' and not 'Ciccone'
6. You occasionally completely shift language from kool to pure unaccented complex English in a group just to make people feel stupid because they thought you were a pop-culture Neanderthal.
7. You love Rahul Korlipara and think he should get the Nobel prize for existing.
8. You derive great child-like pleasure is PJs like these :
Example 1:
A friend says : Say did you know this...?
You Say : "Did you know this.."
9. You do not have money, a great car, a designer wardrobe, great looks, great body and yet when you walk into the room everybody wants to talk to you (this does not apply to situations where people want to talk to you to tell you things like "your fly is open", "hey there is food stuck in your teeth", “hey your pants falling down yesterday at the coffee shop was really funny” etc).
10. You have made a woman 'meow' in bed(regardless of whether you are male or female) owing to the pleasure you gave her (this is a lifelong ambition of mine…. the comic value is immeasurable)
11. You basically don't care about all this anyway as long as you are having a good time and not doing any long term/short term damage and you are smiling indulgently at this comment.
