As a kid that used be the question that made me panic. Some teacher or parent would ask “What’s up?” In a casual manner and I would just freeze. To this day I have no idea what the proper response is. I assume it isn’t to start talking about orbits.

“Hey” is shockingly acceptable.
“Not much, you?” is considered polite.
“My cholesterol” or “my blood pressure” followed by “my doctor says it’s really a problem!” is my favorite response. People either chuckle at the joke and move on or get uncomfortable and leave me alone.
