"What's up" means "What's happening." I usually just reply "nothing." because nothing is
happening to me.
But, there are alternatives, such as the usual reply to a greeting:
1. Not much
2. Nothing. Yourself?
3. I'm good, yourself?
4. Good. How are you?
However, if there is something that you would like to tell the other person e.g. You've sold
your car, it might go like this:
A: What's up?
B: I've sold my car.
A: Good on you mate!

what's up
An extremely annoying question that has (unfortunately) replaced "Hello" or "Hi" as the most
popular form of casual greeting. For full effect, best delivered while walking past someone at
about 90 m.p.h. so the person you're talking to has no time to respond, and in a tone that suggests
you really don't give a shit about "what's up" with them.
Dude #1: "Hey, man. What's up?"
Dude #2: "Uh..." (what he managed to get out before Dude #1 was already too far away to hear
the rest of what he was going to say)

Tara Douma Anything with coding can be "hacked" as in, our DNA is made of codes
and we can "catch" a virus, which is a small strand of DNA with a goemetric protein
encasing it so it can get into our cells. It is just like computer code that says, "copy
me" but also has codes "open files" in our DNA so that it can get at the specific
codes that manufacture proteins. Similarly, an electromagnetc/gravitational or just
plain old consciousnessness "program" could be hacked using codes that access it's
building codes and tell them to do something other than what is happening.
Fortunately, I believe, a way of looking at what is happening is that we are all
hacking it all the time! We are part of it, so we come equipped with its codes, and
then we make things with those codes, so actually maybe we are more like the DNA
in the orginal cell. Another point about it is that it is composed of not DNA although it produces that too - but instead sacred geometry. That is the "building
blocks" of the universe looking at it as we are. So just as patches showed us the
harmonics or musical scales in the polar coordinate image, we can compose all
sorts of codes from the original building blocks. Just as DNA can produce proteins,
regulate their production, tell them to switch on or off, and have series of on/off
switches turned on or off in order to regulate entire patterns of growth and
development.....so we are sort of like a giant organism. Alive just as we are
conscious. It is also cool that if we "are" the matrix to a degree, being composed of
these codes, then we are not separate at all, we are connected or "communed"
through the very process of our existence.

Jackie H. asked, "Is it correct to say 'In regards to...' or 'In regard to...'? I have
used 'regards' for many years and now my boss has informed me that it is
incorrect to say 'regards.' Yet, I see and hear it all the time."
The correct phrase is "in regard to." You may be confused because "as regards" is
another way to introduce a topic.
Many people believe both phrases are unnecessary business jargon. Better options,
depending on the particular sentence, include "concerning," "regarding," "about," "in,"
and "with."

Regard vs. regards

The traditional distinction goes like this: the singular regard is correct in phrases like with
regard to and in regard to where these phrases mean with reference to, while the plural
regards means good wishes expressing respect, affection, or condolences. But while some
people continue to insist that using regards in place of regard is simply incorrect, the old
distinction is not consistently borne out in real-world, 21st-century usage. Regards is
commonly used both ways, both in edited writing and elsewhere.

Examples
With regards to, etc.
With regards to sushi offerings in Evanston, there are still many other fish in the
sea. [Daily Northwestern]
Reality television holds a unique position in the television landscape in regards
to racial discourse. [AV Club]
In 2009, he was charged with assault and criminal mischief in regards to his
then wife. [Guardian]

With regard to, etc.

Times, then, have changed with regard to ideas of decorum for these ancient
buildings and their custodians. [Telegraph]
The platform makes no mention of changing bankruptcy laws in regard to
pensions or disability payments. [Ottawa Citizen]

Regards (traditional sense)

Kurtz urged him to convalesce, and passed along his regards to those attending
the dinner. [Coldwater Daily Reporter]
The Watchdog and his pals send a chorus of woofs to the Kansas City traffic
guys for giving their regards to Broadway. [Kansas City Star]

What is the correct definition and usage of for all I know?

I saw some sentences using this phrase "for all I know" but wasn't quite sure
what is its exact definition and also whether a modal verb such as "could,
may or might" expressing uncertainty must be present in the sentence.

The following are some possible definitions:

According to the information I have; I think; probably. (usually

implies uncertainty)

Based on what I know (usually expressing displeasure)

As far as I know (used to show indifference)

I really don't know (used to show complete ignorance)

And these are statements containing the phrase:

For all I know, the mayor has resigned already.

She may have gone to town for all I know.

He wears a ring, but he may be single, for all I know.

For all I know, there may be someone with you now.

The man I met on the beach yesterday seemed friendly, but he could
be a thief, for all I know.

For all I know, the girl was buried alive in the Arabian sands.

They've decided to hire Jack for all I know.

For all I know is used when the speaker wishes to make a point that they don't know much
at all, so they attach it to a statement that is either preposterous or undesirable from the
speaker's perspective.
He wears a ring, but he may be single, for all I know. means that given what little I know if
this person (which in this case is merely that he wears a ring) I don't know enough else to
know whether the ring is for real or not.
For all I know, there may be someone with you now. sounds like someone's wife on the
phone with their husband who suspects they've been cheating. The wife can only go by the
denial their husband has just uttered, but has no real way of knowing whether it's the truth.
For all I know, the girl was buried alive in the Arabian sands. means that given what little I
know being buried in the Arabian sands fits with the facts however preposterous it might be.
Making the point that the speaker knows very little indeed.
