What have you been up to lately? What have you been up to lately?

Huh?!

What did you say, Shane?

I said, 'What have you been up to lately?'

This is how native speakers say it really quickly.

First, let's talk about what this question means.

'What have you been up to lately' means what activities have you done recently?

And 'recently' means not long ago.

So maybe one week ago, one month ago.

But probably not longer than three months ago.

Some common answers could be 'Not much, you?'

'Not much, you?'

Or, 'I've just been working really hard. What about you?'

'I've just been working really hard. What about you?'

'Nothing exciting, I just got back from a holiday last week.'

'Oh, nothing exciting, I just got back from a holiday last week.'

So, now you know what to say if someone says to you, 'Wodduyuhbinuptolately?'

'Wodduyuhbinuptolately?'
