howyagoinmateorright?
New member from Oz (Perth)
More to follow when I work out how to drive this site - doesn't seem all that friendly for strangers.
Any other 'rats who are Aussies?

Re: howyagoinmateorright?
So, why is it "how ya goin" and not "how's it goin" or "how ya doin"?

Re: howyagoinmateorright?
Hi Canada.
It means "How are things going with you" and refers to a person's personal coping with the vicissitudes of life - If we asked "How are you doing", we would be asking how a person's financial affairs were progressing.
Seriously it's just one of those idiosincracies which result from dialectic shifts.
