The phrase essentially means, "What is your location?" or "Identify your position," but is a corrupted phrase from the original "10-20" used by United States law enforcement to verbally encode their radio transmissions to that non-police listeners would not easily discover police operations, as well as to communicate quicker and more efficiently by standardizing frequently used phrases.
These verbally-coded messages were called "10 codes", of which "10-20" stood for "Identify your position," or "Where are you?" originally. Other such codes include "10-7" meaning the officer was busy such as with a traffic pull-over, "10-8" meaning that the officer was back on patrol such as from having just written a citation, the popular "10-4" as an affirmative, "10-10" as a negative and "10-22" to disregard a previous transmission have only seen light integration into common use. It was not uncommon for a city to have its own set of particular 10-codes for other phrases frequently used particular to that locale.
This code-phrasing is similar in design to Amateur Radio Operators' (which require an FCC license) use of Q-signals, such as QTH ("What is your location") and QSL ("affirmative/understood") used to reduce the time needed to transmit and interpret a Morse-code transmission.

Did you know that today's weed is four times more potent than the weed Snoop rapped about in '92? That doesn't mean that it would've made Snoop an even better rapper, but it DOES mean that just because Snoop and perennial nipple-pasty-wearing-tongue-wagger Miley Cyrus smoke it, doesn't mean it's safe for the teenage brain. What's Your HighQ? is a quiz that tests how much you know about today's weed -- and why it's more unsafe for acne-ridden teens than it is for adults. Take the quiz at WhatsYourHighQ.com.
You must be baked out of your mind, your HighQ is a 73. Your score is lower than Forrest Gump. You really need to do read more than High Times if you're going to find out What's Your HighQ?

A sarcastic way of asking someone about the mood they're in. Was coined in the 1988 teen drama, Heathers.
From Heathers (1988):
Heather Chandler: What's your damage? Brad says you're being a real *kuse*.
Veronic Sawyer: Heather, I feel really sick, like I'm gonna throw up, so can we please jam now?
