In many families, like mine, "What's Good ?" or " Wuz Hanin?" is a simple Hello, How are you?. Some people call it improper grammer or ignorant but in our family its how we understand each other. Different cultures in different areas have sayings and lingo we use to describe how we are feeling, what we are doing, and what we think...
In my family we greet each other with a simple , "Hey Everybody!" or a "What's good sis?" Of course in the work industry those phrases wouldnt be appropriate but it's what we say to communicate with each other and what we are the most comfortable with.
The language we use in my family and amongst friends are used only to communicate how we are feeling and without being corrected and punctated every minute of the day. Our way of relief sounds like, "Man! I'm freakin' tired", or "These dogs are barking!" In other words my feet are really hurting, and I need to relax a little.
Expressing yourself this way is what most people call "slang". Not the most appropriate language but it's most comfortable with me. In different atmosphere's, groups, or club's , your speech to become apart of these groups have to change to fit in. I'd like to tell myself that I fit in quite well to my family.

i truly agree with what you said. especially when talk about thhe language we use when we are around our families. we say things to show how we feel and even when we around are friends we tend to use the language they use just to fit in, the language which we would use around our families.
