I hate that fucking abbreviation.
I don't think that's a valid (or proper) contraction.
Edit: http://grammar.about.com/od/words/a/...ntractions.htm
It's slang.
Yea, what's it slang for though? Not sure I understand. How're - does this mean "how are" or what?Quote:

Also, who're is awfully close to whore.

I don't think that's slang. I think it's just terrible grammar.
Slang is generally a new word or a re-purposed word. "How're" is just an improperly contracted/mispronounced set of words.
I know it wasn't slang. But I'm sure we all understand what he meant. I was trying not to nitpick or anything like that.
Wasn't really talking to you.Quote:
