Every once in a while I throw out a "what's happening".  Just keep ppl on their toes.

Also, "hey, there" works just fine in response to "what's up".

But you didn't really answer their question of "What is up?"

No one actually wants to know what is actually up.   If they do, well, a good confusing reply will disarm those weirdos and send them packing while scratching their socially awkward heads.

sometimes i will just respond to a "what's up, name?" with a "what's up, name?" of my own. like good afternoon basically.

i certainly dont want to know what is actually up

Or a "ça va?" if you want to class things up.  :Purple Koolaid: <-(wine decanter)

We had a mandatory safety training session after work once. I didn't know it was mandatory until I had already spent an hour at the Marine bar (it's Ramadan, so almost everyone leaves at 3, including the guys I needed to talk to, so I had nothing to do).

The session included a lengthy segment on gas masks and how to use them, featuring a guest volunteer. At the end, when he was "safe," the guest volunteer dramatically ripped off his mask, revealing himself to be the #2 guy at the embassy, at which point I yelled out "Hey, it's Enrico Palazzo!"

Two guys laughed (but they laughed really hard).
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."

you could always use the classic, "the sky" or "my pants" or fsd might use "illegal immigration"
