Answer to &quot;Que onda?&quot;?

I've heard people say "pasandola" (accent over second a--having trouble with keyboard)--meaning pasandola bien or just "chillin".<p>

The usual answer to Que onda? is Nada (nothing)... I wouldn't use it with someone older than you or an authority<p>

Una buena onda, o No hay onda!

: Hi all,<p>: Apparently the slang greeting "que onda?" means "what's up".<p>Literally "What wave (vibe)" and originates from mota smokers as a greeting that implies "Are you high?" which is why you shouldn't use this phrase around authorities. True it's useage has spread out considerably from the mota crowd, it is nonetheless a very Hippster term still, seldom used by older straight Mexicans.<p>Therefore Mamasita always replies "No hay onda!" but the really 'cool' will say: "Buena onda!" ("Good vibes")<p>Pernel
