Is everything on the par

Hi.

A friend of mine always uses 'Is everything on the par?' as a greeting.

I wonder if the use of this question insetead of 'how are you? ' or 'how is everything? ' correct?

Do native speakers use this question in their everyday English?

Thanks

I have never heard that. It doesn't even seem to include the correct idiom, which is presumably 'on a par (with)' (and that is not a greeting either).

Thank you very much for your response Mister Micawber.

I think this idiom is a creation of his. He has learned the word par and he thinks that if someone is on a par, it means he is good and if someone is under par, he is not fine.

Thanks

Dear friend

Check the following: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/par

so it'snot improvisation.

Hi Iman.

I know we can use different idioms using par, but I just specifically asked about the phrase is everything on the par?

I wanted to know if native speakers use such a question in everday English.

As Mister Micawber said, there is no such a thing. That's the reason there is no track of such usage in dictionaries.

Cheers

I have not heard such a phrase before. I do not think it is used by the native speakers of English.

To my knowledge,'Is everything on the par?' is not in use at all by native speakers.
