In Australia “Hows it going?” Or more accurately “Howzitgarn?”
Howdy was once “How do ye?”
UK London and east is, ‘y’aight’, which is you all right? Shortened to one syllable.
In Maryland we just eyeball the other person and both say Aight at the same time to make sure the passer by isnt about to try something slick
My understanding of the Maryland accent is entirely Baltimore from the wire and the ‘aaron earned an iron urn’ video. I imagine it’s closer to ahh-iit, though. Is it the single sound of London or drawn out like I imagine?
Aight. The A is a guest star. I guess it could just be ight
Howzitgarnmate’?
Thats the formal version.
“High Strayan”
It is a question. The answer is always “Aight”
Same goes for “howdy.” It’s not a question.
Howdy?
Howdy! FTFY.
I always say “I’m another day older and deeper in debt.”
Same shit different toilet
I always say, one day closer to the sweet relief of death.
“The horrors persist, but so do I”
At the end of the day you’re another day older…
And that’s all you can say for the life of the poor…
This is a very common dialect thing. Like in the UK, especially the North east “you alright?” Or just “alright?” is just a simple greeting that is often also just repeated in response.
Unless it’s "How YOU doin’?
Only in NY do we use a character from a NJ outfit as our own.
Shoulda been a Tribbiani.
What community are you in?
Philly boy. Yous? Edit: I see I used “we” . That was meant to mimic the OP, not imply Im from NY. Second Edit: op did have “we” either, guess I was typing from a pretend NYer perspective.

So, I work with New Yorkers and this happens all the time lol. How should I respond to this in a proper way then lol, it feels odd to respond with the same question :P
I’ts all good bruddah, how you doin’?
Its-a all good-ah, how bout yourself?
(just sprinkle bits of Mario, he’s from New York)
We do that in Kentucky, too. And same for the “Doin’ alright. You?” that you’ll receive in return. lol
Same thing here in Texas “How you doin?” “Doin alright how bout yourself?”
Then yall just pass by each other and keep walking.
Never thought about it until now but it is kinda funny to just leave a random question hanging in the air that both people know ain’t getting answered lol.
Oh yeah, we do the “How bout yourself” too sometimes, now that I think about it. And occasionally you’ll get a “Doin alright” but it’s all pretty standard stuff.
How You Doin?
I’m still here.
Ever talked to someone from Ireland?
And the UK as a whole.
“Alright mate?”
“Yeah, you?”
“Yeah”
