Definition

A casual contraction mashup asking 'how's it going?' with the energy of someone who actually wants to hear about your day. It's the verbal equivalent of a friendly wave that opens the door to actual conversation rather than just polite small talk. Peak early-2000s internet chat vibes.

Example Usage

Howza? Haven't seen you online in forever—what's been happening?
