What does what's the story? mean?
Standard Irish greeting, especially Dublin. Means 'how are you', 'what's up', or 'what's going on'. Not a literal request for a story — answering with actual news is fine, but 'not much, yourself?' works too. Often shortened to just 'story?'
"Howya Liam, what's the story?"
