How ya doin'?


Explanation:
These are all variants on the same theme really, but I've found on visits to the USA that this is the most common greeting, e.g from waiters, sales staff in shops, taxi drivers etc. In reply, you are not expected to tell them how you are doing, but just to say "How ya doin'?" back to them.
Just as in rather old-fashioned UK English, the greeting was "How do you do?", and again, the expected reply was another "How do you do?"
(Hope I've got this right as far as the USA is concerned - I'm sure someone will tell me if I haven't.)
