Supdawg is an American slang greeting. It is a heavily corrupted contraction of the properly phrased question "What is up, Dog?". It's genesis is rooted in the American inner city
neighborhoods of the 1980s where it has fluorished in the Hip Hop music subculture. It is notably in extremely heavy usage in
the West Loop area of
downtown Chicago centering on the intersection of Clinton and Van Buren streets.
