What's the scheweppes?

Jamaican greeting
Similar to what's up, what's popping or what's happening used with friends in a casual setting.

Origin: from the two grapefruit soft drinks sold in Jamaica, Ting and Schweppes. The term ‘ting’ functions as a brand name and also a slang word meaning ‘thing’. Thus the phrase “you know the ting/schewppes” means “you know how things are/you know the situation”. Given the similarity between the two grapefruit drinks, “Ting” and “Schweppes” are used synonymously.

What's the scheweppes? Heard bare hot gals coming to the party later. You coming, fam?
