What's good
含义: A casual greeting meaning 'what's up?' or a question about what's recommended.
'What's good?' works as both a greeting and a genuine question. As a greeting, it's interchangeable with 'what's up?' As a question at a restaurant or bar, it means 'what do you recommend?' It has a slightly more urban, hip feel than 'what's up' and is common in hip-hop culture.
