What are you doing?" "What ya doin?" "Whatchadoin." "Wotcha." "Wotcher' or 'wotcha' is a greeting used primarily by London males or Australian males. Its origins are unknown, but it means 'what are you up to' or 'what are you doing'.
The American to English Dictionary:
http://english2american.com/dictionary/w.html
wotcher expl. A form of greeting, rather more familiar to Victorian schoolboys than anyone more contemporary. Harks back to a time when "cock" meant something like "mate", but nowadays marching into a bar and greeting someone with "wotcher, cock!" is unlikely to make you more popular.
