The answer doesn’t grammatically fit the question. The responses that make more sense are: ”It goes.” ”Good.” ”Not so good. My balls just exploded.” or my personal favorite, ”None of you’re (expletive deleted)ing business how it’s going.” Edited July 20, 2020 by PhillipBlunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could depend on the situation....in some cases it could make sense. If I was picking blackberries and you came up and asked "How's it going?" You would know what I meant by "not much" Now, that's as stretchy as I can make a reason for such a silly way to respond/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much is an answer to the question how much more so than how’s it going. I just realized that I left a sentence half written in my last post. I’m slipping, bishop.

The Lock Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) It is an acceptable response if you don't care to be taken seriously. It is not an acceptable response if you actually want to build rapport with a person. Even responses like "No problem" when you've done something for someone can have a weird vibe to it... like was there a problem to begin with?
