What it means
Cornish greeting meaning what is on or what is happening. Basically the local version of alright. You drop it when you bump into someone at the shop, lean out of the van window, or walk into the pub on a Friday. Relaxed, friendly, zero effort required. The expected response is another wasson or just a nod and a chat about the weather.
Usage examples
"Wasson, bird? Haven't seen you since the regatta. You still working up at the farm or did you end up moving to Truro like you said?"
"Wasson, mate, you popping into the Padstow pub later for a pint and a chat about the rugby, we got the lads from St Ives coming over after their boat trip ended early in the harbour."
"Wasson, my lover, haven't seen you down at the Falmouth market in months, you still working at the school in town or did you take that new job up at the tourist office on the headland."
