How Do You Do?

What is How Do You Do??


1.

Somewhat archaic greeting. Was popular in England in polite society before the 50s.

The phrase is somthing of a non-sequiter - if read as written there's only half a verb, because one usualy does somthing rather than just does. The question could be construed as 'doing' your girlfriend or wife, but the intent is not to open a discussion on sexual acts, but rather to greet.

Jack: How do you do?

Jill: I am well Jack, and yourself?

See greeting, hello, posh
