what does 'fine" mean

[Dad]

It means somebody has the hots for you!

Well according to the youth anyway...

Usually if it's a reply to an inquiry of status from a female who is close to you it means:

I'm really pissed off you don't know why I'm pissed off!!!

 

[Mrs.Babba]

if a woman tells you "I'm fine" you're generally fucked.......

Especially if y'all are together. If it gets real bad you can tell her to get her "fine" ass out of there.

I think all of you are forgetting how the vast majority of the time an inquiry into how someone is doing when used as a greeting, at least among the more common modern languages is two parts empty gesture and one part attempt to send the message they are a caring person. They expect you to answer "okay" "fine" etc and if you don't say this you are either sadistic, truly have something of interest to say, or just an oblivious rambler noone wants to be around, because you are burdening them with information they at best could care less about. This is the reason I simply don't ask it anymore because unless it is someone I'm close to who I have a genuine interest in their well being, I rarely have any desire to know how the person actually is short of some sort of dire, tragic, or exciting news. Anyone who has learned basic english spanish portuguesr german italian or french as a second language has learned that asking how someone is doing is to be used as a greeting with an expected response equivalent to "good" "fine" okay" etc. I don't see it as having anything to do with insecurity in one's emotions, more a lack of a desire to stand there and ramble to some mild acquaitance with information I don't have time to share with them, and they don't want to hear. I guess anyone who learns from a basic spanish text book is insecure in their emotions? Answering with one of the common responses is at least just as courteous, if not moreso than asking the question to begin with, as opposed to burdening them with some half hour spiel about some boring event that happened to you at the grocery store.
