What Up is a phrase commonly used by Barney Stinson, usually heard at the end of a comically appropriate sexual comment, often accompanied by a high five. Its style varies from time to time as do most of Barney's catchphrases, being either high-pitched or low-pitched, oddly pronounced or even not verbally said.

A question about what another has his attention on. What is he thinking about or busy with? "Up" in this usage is referring to a slag from around the 1930s meaning: occupied with or busy with.
When I saw him he was angry so I asked "what's up?". But he would not tell me what he was angry about.

WHAT'S UP! is just a greeting not a question not asking anything just an aknowledgement/ greeting in passing and the only reply in that tone , you have to listen for the tone, is what's! up and keep it moving. Important listen for the tone.
walking down the street and see someone, eyes meet you both have things to do or nothing to do whatever the case you say, what's up! and you keep it moving. don't just say this in any situation you have to use your senses if you don't have any senses don't try it because if you aint feeling it or you convey it in the wrong way it could be misinscrewed in the wrong way that same what's up? could be a challange or a question in which case if you can't reach for your feelings or senses just say hi, that nuetralizes anything other then the greeting.
