i mean imagine going back to the past in the 1920's, some guy saying to the other, 'hey! whats up!' and the other gentlemen saying, 'hay? hay is for horses....what?..whats up? the sky, why??' so who ever began this phrase or around what period did it ever begin and do think its ever going to loose its meaning? or is it a thing to stay forever?

It's been used for ages. It actually originates from England. I remember reading some old novel and they were using it back then. It has only recently taken its connotation as a 'black thang'.

Isn't it from Bugs Bunny? 'What's up doc?'
It could have been Chicken Licken before he yelled out that the sky was falling.

Well, in the beginning there was this guy. And he said to the second, "Look Up". Then the second guy said, What's Up?"
