Doing fair for a square

Definition: A rhythmic, high-integrity response to the greeting "How are you doing?" or "How have you been?" It signifies that the speaker is living an honest, upright life and that "The Creator" or the world is treating them with the same fairness they give to others.
The Philosophy: It identifies the speaker as a "square" (a person of solid character who follows the right path) and confirms that because they do "fair" by everyone, they are receiving "fair" in return. It is a boast of peace, stability, and clean living.
Origin: Coined by Charles Edward Rice II.
Person A: "Hey man, it’s been a while! How you been doing lately?"
Person B: "Can’t complain, brother. I’m doing fair for a square."
Meaning: "I'm staying out of trouble, working hard, and life is treating me right because of it."

On the Square

A Freemasonic term based on the square level used by ancient & modern stone masons. According to "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Vol II, Albert Mackey" the meaning of the square is:

"... In Freemasonry, it is a symbol of morality. This is its general signification, and is applied in various ways: 1. It presents itself to the neophyte as one of the three great lights; 2. To the Fellow-Craft as one of his working tools; 3. To the Master Mason as the official emblem of the Master of the Lodge" (Enc. of Freemasonry Vol II, Albert Mackey pp. 708)

Thus, the term "on the square" is much the same as "squared away," or "fair and square." To talk to a person "on the square" means to talk in a blunt and straightforward manner, as not to beat around the bush.
