How

A self-proclamation made boisterously and with a nauseating confidence by a hoe in denial.

How many kids?

Gaurd: EACH?
...
Gaurd: EACH!?

da baby: It is often a matter of dispute whether a certain government is to be characterized as fascist (radical authoritarian nationalism), authoritarian, totalitarian, a police state or some other category of governance. The term "fascism" itself is controversial, and has been defined in various ways by different authors. Many of the regimes and movements discussed in this article can be considered fascist according to some definitions but not according to others. See definitions of fascism for more information on that subject. But eventually the word will phase from existence; and this is how the website will die.

how you what

A multi-purpose Indianapolis slang phrase meaning “what’s up,” “what are you on,” “what you doing,” or “what’s going on with you?” depending on tone and context.
It’s a conversational check-in that blends curiosity, recognition, and street familiarity.

Origin & History
First publicly popularized in 2013 through the song “How You What” by Freshduzit, which featured 10 local Indianapolis artists, each representing different sides of the city.
The song was intentionally created to:
Promote Indianapolis lingo
Unite multiple neighborhoods on one record
Put Naptown slang on wax the same way other cities do (Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis, etc.)
While the phrase existed in street conversation before, Freshduzit’s record was the first documented, recorded, and distributed use that spread it city-wide.
Aye nasty , how you what?”

“I just touched down, how you what tonight?”

“He been moving different, how you what?”

“Call me when you free, let me know how you what.”
