Definition

A casual, street-inflected greeting combining 'what's up' with 'dawg' (friend/buddy), typically exchanged between people trying to sound cooler than they actually are. This Y2K-era salutation peaked somewhere around 2003 but refuses to completely die. Using it today is either ironic nostalgia or evidence you're desperately clinging to a bygone era.

Example Usage

I ran into my old college roommate and greeted him with an enthusiastic 'Waddup dawg?'
