Dude, if people say “Hey, ya aright?” (British accent) it’s their version of “Hey, what’s up”. I lived over there for three years and it took me a while to realize they were saying Hi and not actually asking me if something was wrong.

Yeah well in Britain when you ask someone "Hey, what's up?" you are asking them "what's the matter?" or "what's wrong?". I'm English living in the US
