hiya doin'

/ˈhaɪjə.duːɪn/

Where it comes from

Conflation of "hiya" and "how are you doing". Evolution was probably "how are you doing" → "how're you doin'" → "how're ya doin'" → "howya doin'", at which point "howya" was replaced/confused/conflated with "hiya", resulting in "hiya doin'". Compare to the development of goodbye, howdy-do. Also, compare howzit, whatcha doin'.

phrase

US, colloquial A greeting. Tends to warrant a reply. "Ah, hello there, Frank!" "Hiya doin'?" "I'm doing well. Yourself?"
