Do you use "What's on?" in English like "What's up?"?
If you do, what does it mean? |

Yes, it means, "What is going on? / What is happening?"

I have never heard �what�s on� used as �what�s up�. Is it new slang?
I only say what�s on when referring to TV like, �What�s on tonight?� Or I say, �What�s going on?� When I want to know what�s up.
Maybe I am getting old and losing my English ability.  |

| Maybe it's regional. My 22-year-old never heard it either. |
