Pmsl, a dozey mate of mine used to do that. When any of us said 'aryt', he'd go, 'Ye, I'm fine'. Lol.

Why is this funny, these are normal responses are they not? "Aryt" surely translates to "hello old chap, how are you?" or am I wrong?
Me an' my mates always respond with, "yeah, fine...you?"
It's the same here. When I see someone I know here in Sweden and go "Y'alreet?" they go "Yes thanks, you?" meaning I have to get into a whole convo with them rather than just saying hi then going our own merry ways.mammutly said:I remember when I went to University being surprised at that when I said 'alright' to people, they would reply, "I'm fine thanks, how are you?"
