Saying "Hi" is perfect. "What's up" means hello.

No, it's not impolite. I don't think they really want to know what's really up with you...I use it more as a way of saying "hi". When someone says "what's up?" I usually say "hey...". Never been called rude for it!

You could say "The Sky" and laugh. It's not impolite to say hi. I think it's a question similar to "How are you." It's just a greeting. I definitely laugh when guys think they are all cool and cut the greeting even shorter saying 'Sup' and lift their chin at the same time.

no its not impolite at all. but when someone says whats up you could say "nothing much whats up with you???" or "nothing really how r u?" or u could say "i have been busy how have u been?" something like that.because basically what whats up means is whats going on?

Saying hi back is ok. That is a normal response to someone who is useing the improper language of "what's Up?"

What's up is more a less just a way to hi in today's society. Any response with the same intent would be okay.

I say "nuttin, honey".
Nothing wrong with responding with "Hi". Unless they're actually saying "What's up?" as a question rather than just as a greeting.

I usually say 'nothing much, you?" Once, I said "the sky" and got a lecture about being sarcastic...

Typically, I say, "Hey. What do you know?" When the person says "what's up," they're not actually asking you what is up, they're just giving you an informal greeting. Give 'em one back.
