In Levantine Arabic especially in Jordan and Palestine, when you ask someone:
How are you? or what are you doing? or what's up?
and you get صافية وافية as an answer, it means something like: nothing is happening or
I'm not doing anything or nothing important is going on that deserves to be mentioned.
