Hi ! I have some questions :
1.) What does the word 'harlow' stand for ?
2.) What's the difference between :
a.) to endanger / to threaten
b.) disagreeable / unpleasant / seamy
3.) There's some expression that is used by people who talk in chat rooms which means 'what's up?' :
'What have you been up to lately?'
Is it correct ?
And how can we say 'what's up?' in other words ?
Thank you guys in advance ! The website is great ! I learnt a lot by dint of your answers ! Thanx thanx thanx thanx thaaaaaaanx ! ! !

(1) Googling produces 1,300,000 pages of 'harlow', leading off with the leading lady, Jean Harlow. I could find no clue, however to another meaning. If it is in a chat room, perhaps it is a facetious version of 'hello'?

- (2a) 'To endanger' is to actually put in the way of danger, to create a dangerous situation; 'to threaten' is simply to warn of danger (a danger perhaps inherent in the warner).
- (2b) I find it impossible to clearly distinguish between 'disagreeable' and 'unpleasant'-- they are quite synonymous.
