"How's it hanging?" (NYC Street Scene Series)
Jan 2, 2019 13:39:40 #
Definition/etymology:
"Why do some people use "how's it hanging?" as greeting? What is "it" referring to?
It is often used in English without any very specific meaning, as in It’s raining. In How’s it hanging? it refers to life in general."
Just couldn't resist taking this with my cellphone on my way to the bank. This friendly fella was playing Christmas tunes on his flute and immediately switched to playing Hava Negillah when he saw me coming, all while hanging upside down from a tree on 34th St. between 8th and 9th avenues. I was moved to leave him a $1 just for his marketing skills.
Midtown Manhattan - The Street Photographers wonderland. Never a dull moment.
Happy New Year to all.
