Similar to updog but more child-friendly and universally applicable. Updoc was made popular particularly in the 1940s-60s through its endorsement by Warner Brothers.
Popular catchphrase: What's updoc?
by Vole July 22, 2006
"updoc" is a verbal prank played on a naive or unsuspecting victim, based on the old Bugs Bunny greeting/catchphrase:
"ehh... What's up, Doc?"
"doc" (doctor) being Bug's idiosyncratic equivalent of "pal", "dude", "bud", etc.
The gag is intended to get the mark to repeat Bugs' greeting without realizing it, at least not right away. Mirth ensues among onlookers.
Historically, it precedes the current, and equivalent, "updog/updawg".
