How goes it

Synonymous with the phrases "how are you" or "how are you going". Most likely derived from literal translations of similarly structured forms in European languages, such as the German "wie geht's", the Dutch "hoe gaat het" and the French "comment ça va".

"How goes it" is non-standard and is generally used as a somewhat quirky informal alternative to the more conventional questions. In this sense, the phrase may have a somewhat humorous effect.

(1) Interlocutors may respond in the same way as they would to the more conventional "how are you".

A: "How goes it?"
B: "I'm well."

(2) Alternatively, interlocutors may acknowledge the facetious nature of the structure "how goes it", and respond in kind.

A: "How goes it?"
B: "It goes well."

Ernest Goes to Camp

One of the greatest movies ever made. Widely recognized as the best in the 'Ernest' series, and one of the few movies to successfully utilize not one, but two montages in the same film. A triumph of modern cinema.

Dude, remember back in the day when we used to watch Ernest Goes to Camp like every day? Man those were good times.
