Jamaican greeting
Similar to what's up,
what's popping or
what's happening used with friends in a casual setting.
Origin: from the two grapefruit soft drinks sold in Jamaica, Ting and Schweppes. The term ‘ting’ functions as a brand name and also a slang word meaning ‘thing’. Thus the phrase “you know the ting/schewppes” means “you know how things are/you know the situation”. Given the
similarity between the two grapefruit drinks, “Ting” and “Schweppes” are used synonymously.
