At the time when our Dad was in his late 90’s and 100, friends would ask him this question. His reply was often… Well I’m still kicking. I’m just not kicking up much dust! 😁 He was a Pilot during WWII and had a lot of great stories for those wanting to take time to listen. He was a great Dad and loving husband for over 50 years. He’s greatly missed.

Something similar happens with me and my friends: Friend- "How are you" Me- "Yes" Friend- "What do you mean yes?" Me- "I mean yes" Friend- "But... Yes isn't a response to the question I asked" Me- "Why?" Friend- "Because... It's not..." Me- "You sure?" Friend- "Yes" Me- "Now look who's saying yes! Well, well, well, see how the tables turn." Friend- "Why are you like this *insert my name" Me- "Hmm... Maybe cuz I was born..." Friend- "Okay then... I'm just gonna slowly walk away" Me- "Okay I'm gonna stay here and regret all of my life decisions." Edit- I just added "friend" and "me" to the beginning of each sentence so it is less confusing.

Common mistakes: Im fine Im well/good( saying I'm good is incorrect if you're referring to your health) Im doing good Easy responses: Im pretty good Im pretty well Im pretty fine Interesting answers: I've never been better So far so good Cant complain Better than i deserve Silly responses: If i had a tail i would wag it Flirty responses: Word on the street is that im pretty good Im great, but a totally biased. 'OK' alternatives: Im alright So so Not too bad Could be better/ i could also be worse Same old, same old Im alive/surviving Good enough Sarcastic responses: Im alright now, but there's still time for everything to go horribly wrong. Better now that im talking to you. Negative responses: Im not going to lie .....I feel terrible.. I'm not doing so well/I'm struggling a bit Im snowed under. Its been a bit of a tough week. I'm not having an easy time at the moment. Avoiding question: You don't want to know! Don't ask! Honestly just don't ask me Do i have to answer that? I think you already know. Shhh.. it's too early to tell. Ill responses: Im feeling a bit under the weather. Overworked and underpaid. Slowly but surely dying actually, aren't we all? Funny and negative responses: Somewhere between blah and me. Just hug me and leave it at that.

[@antonnym214]

I grew up in Georgia, USA. We sometimes say things like "I'm finer than a frog's hair." or "If I were any better I'd be twins." The latter is funny to me, because I AM a twin. If I'm so-so, I might say, "fair to partly cloudy." or "Fair to midlin'." If I'm physically ill, I might say "I'm sicker than a dog; I know, because I have a dog, and she's doing pretty well." OR if I'm VERY sick, "I'd have to get better to die."

[@catyronwode]

I know and love all of those rural American phrases. My favourite of the ones you cited is "If I were any better I'd be twins" -- it really cracks me up. Another one i have always enjoyed is "Partly cloudy with a chance of rain." One old farmer i knew said, totally deadpan, "I'll feel better after you buy me a beer."

I worked with an elderly retired US Air Force general that would always respond “Still vertical”. I also had a co-worker that would respond with a smile and say “I’m perfect!”

Examiner:How are you? Me:I'm alright now,but there's still time for everything to go horribly wrong.

'Decently decent on this decent day, with a decent amount of decency to make it ever so slightly more decent'

I like to use, " I'm not doing three bad" which is one better than not too bad...

Stephen S2R ooooo i like this one

"Overworked and underpaid" 🤣😂 that one is my favorite

[@stevecritchley2506]

"Fair to middling" "Flat out like a lizard drinking" (means very busy) "If I was any better I'd be dangerous!" "All the better for seeing your smiling face" (flirty)

I'm so glad I found this video. It really helps me improve my conversation skills. Thank you, Teacher Lucy. (Smiles like Mr. Bean) My favorite response is "If I have a tail, I would wag it like a champ" But when someone asks me "How are you?" I used to sing "I Feel Good" by James Brown.

I had a coworker who always answered, "Just short of wonderful!" Really sweet, upbeat guy he was.

[@yassi_9724]

Noted 😂

[@lilyhuang7238]

you meant sort of, correct?

[@ljhardoby]

@@lilyhuang7238 "Just short of," meaning almost. 😉

[@jfan4reva]

There was an older guy at work (since retired) who would always answer "GREAT!" with an un-nerving smile on his face. It made you curious as to what was so great, but kind of afraid to ask.

[@roadie3124]

@@jfan4reva That was probably his intention 😁 My "absolutely fantastic" with a huge smile and an excited manner like an American motivational speaker freaks a few people out. I'm a very naughty boy 😉

[@hasithajayasinghe7921]

Amazing explanation skill. Thanks

[@cncpreferred848]

What I have said for decades when someone asked how I am doing is "If I were doing any better it would be illegal!!" I often used weather as a joke. If it were snowing, I would reply "I am doing great as long as it doesn't snow - and don't tell me it is snowing or you will ruin my entire week!" The same for rain, a hot sunny day, windy, etc.

Thank you : ) This is really widening my mind on how language works and how you guys are using it. These everyday-language videos are always super useful.
