[Ads-l] What up doe

[Geoffrey Steven Nathan]

I've been asked to comment on what is supposedly a Detroit-ism: 'What up doe?' According to the reporter who contacted me this is a Detroit-centric, long-used expression. I must admit I've never heard it, or of it. Does it ring a bell with anyone on this august list?
