喜樂美語
  1. 1（口語問候，what's up 的縮寫）什麼事；（古語/文學）吃晚餐、喝

    Sup has two unrelated uses. As very casual slang (mostly in texting or speech among younger people), 'sup?' is a short way of asking 'what's up?' — a quick, informal greeting. As an old or literary verb, 'to sup' means to eat or drink, especially to eat the evening meal — this use is rare today, mostly seen in old books or British dialect, and it's related to the word 'supper.'

From the word’s history

Shortening of what's up 'how are you doing?', dropping the start.

what's up「最近好嗎」省掉開頭的簡短說法。
