I guess that would be the most formal, official documentation other than just knowing that "what's up dog?" is clearly a newer phrase than "what's up doc?"
Also, and I have this from good source (colored folk), it's "what up, dog," not "what's up, dog."
defender I am not talking about the phrase "what's up doc" I am talking about the popular "it smells like updog in here" joke so your claim as to the age of the respective phrases is irrelevant and you are a bullshit man made of too many words
on What's up doc?:
"The phrase was sometimes modified for a situation. For example, Bugs says "What's up, dogs?" to the antagonists in A Hare Grows in Manhattan (1947)..."
only seven years after the birth of the phrase in pop-culture
quit arguing about its use in the joke

I don't even know what you people are arguing about any more.
also that urbandictionary page is stupid, there should be a space between up and doc, especially since it uses it to refer to bugs bunny instead of the joke in question
defender do you often go completely overboard in an attempt to prove that you didn't hear a word wrong
like when someone says "s'cool" do you attempt to prove that they said school by pointing out the term school predates the term s'cool and do you also point out the close proximity of fish
When I was in high school, somebody passed this around at work. People would see it, giggle, and move on. Old joke, not particularly funny to begin with, who cares, right?
Kira, one of the managers found it. While you could tell she wasn't a native speaker, she was fluent. She had just enough of an accent that every so often a customer would ask not to have "the foreigner".
She didn't get it, so she said it again. Someone tried to explain it to her she still didn't get it, so she said it again. A few people started laughing, she still didn't get it, she said it again, only she had to say it louder to hear herself. They laughed louder. Before long she was shouting about how fucking retarded she was in the front of a full store. People tried to tell her to stop, but between the laughing and her own shouting she couldn't here anyone else. She was smiling, she knew it was a joke even if she didn't get it, then she told everyone to ge back to work and stormed off.

Nobody ever said it had to be "smells like." The joke doesn't hinge on it, I didn't say it, you inferred that on your own.

your documentation cold sucks
Let's be fair to the page. The whole site sucks. Also, your request for documentation sucked.

Look at my first two posts. My first one was "I thought it was X, not Y." My follow-up was "hmm, guess not." So, to answer your question, no, I don't, as this thread clearly demonstrates.

not just regular cabbage, either
it's mostly coleslaw
the vinegar implies that you're all in extra trouble
I am just curious how the phrase came to be
Like, did people fight over beef a lot in older times

I think she got it.

Top of the third paragraph.
It's by no means a credible source, but it's the best I could find quickly and he has a half-decent theory. Etymology is neat.

don't semantics me, defender
About what? All my claims have been right. Look back and read closely. Sometimes words are tricky.
Look at my first two posts. My first one was "I thought it was X, not Y." My follow-up was "hmm, guess not." So, to answer your question, no, I don't, as this thread clearly demonstrates.
Because beef is easy to squash when you are reconciled.
Yeah.
