Yes, they mean pretty much the same.


"Dong" was a typing error, though, I hope?

Just in case it wasn't, this is how the last sentence should read:

"How have you been doing?"

Also:

-Informal greetings-

What's new?
What's new with you?

and these VERY informal ones for people you already know really well.

What's up?
How's it shaking?
What's going on?

And the answer to that is

- Skiddoo!
- Beat it!
- Cheese it!
- Hook it!
- f-word off!
- Hit the road!

Isn't it? (I mean, one of those terms at one time.) http://www.people.virginia.edu/~cjm7c/emoticons/wink.gif

Sometimes it can be as simple as - Yo!- and a quick head nod.
