"WHAT'S UP!?". The pre-emptive assault. The demand.

Like he's swinging a club at you. The only reply is to raise your shield.

Or you could do something clever. But either way your attention has been lassoed.

Gotta be cleverer.

"What's up?" is the knock. They could lead with whatever they really want to ask you or push at you, whether it's telling you about their vacation to Ireland or asking you if they can hold a thousand this month, but instead they've given you the opportunity to not respond, or to say "Hey, really busy; talk later?" :)
