What is the exact meaning of the expression "How's it hanging?" ?
Is it like
1 - "how are you doing?"
2 - "how are you?"
3 - "what are you doing now?"
And in which cases is is used? (I already know it's quite informal and between friends).

Um, I would be a bit careful with using this one. V. informal and 'slangy'.
It does have those meanings, but let's just say it is more relevant if you ask a man! Can you work out what is 'hanging' from that?

Ok.
So I won't ask a female friend "how's she hanging?" ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif)

Hi Kayaker,
The expression is the very informal equivalent of "how are you doing?"

It's a slang used by Red Necks which you can compare to How is it going?
