An insincere response to someone asking “how are you?” People feel obligated to inquire about the other person to keep from being seen as egocentric, even though it’s obvious they couldn’t care less.
Usually said very quickly without any expectation of a response.

Main Entry: nib-om-et-er
Pronunciation: \ˈni-ˈbäm-ə-tər\
Function: noun.
An organic instrument used to determine ambient temperature. Relative warmth is indicated by a soft, relaxed form, while decreases in temperature cause the instrument to contract, extend, and become increasingly firm.
Often, temperature can be easily determined by observing someone else's nibometers directly through their clothing.
