A bastardization of the greeting "How are you doing?" Used by the stereotypical mobster in popular culture. Heard in countless movies, TV shows, commercials, etc. Most often used in real life by actual mobsters, Americans of Italian descent living in New York or New Jersey (and elsewhere), or retards who want to sound tough.

Get the How you doin'? mug.
A phrase you can tell somebody if it seems he is doin' somehow and you don't know how.

To respond to this "question" in the same way as you would respond to "how are you?" is considered as a faux pas.

an extremely annoying way that desperate guys, thinking they are cool, will greet a pretty girl on the streets. (usually accompanied by the old up and down and a head nod to his boiz) After this comment is issued, said individual will stare blatently at the girls butt/boobs.
