What Up Dog? SAL English Slang
I work at a prison on America's East Coast. I hear the most delicious American English slang every day.
Until I get a question, I'll post some slang.
Take the apostrophe "s" off your question. Turn this:
What's up?
INTO:
What up?
IF YOU WANT TO SOUND LIKE A TEENAGER say:
What up, dug? (DUG is Baltimore slang for DOG.)
Also, if you want to sound like a teenager, start your sentences with "Yo". Also, end them with "yo".
"What up, yo?"
"Yo, pass me the salt, dug."
I love slang. Please ask me question. I'm an American practicing French because j'aime Montréal.

Re:What Up Dog? SAL English Slang
Jean, actually you are hearing ghetto slang spoken by mostly black people and wannabee whites, not true/general American slang or idioms.
I doubt if you hear in the klink, "that dog don't hunt" or "He's got a burr in his saddle" or "He's all hat and no cattle."
Good luck in your job and stay safe. It ain't easy on CO's.
