In times gone by there were some devout followers of the Sanskrit text. Now as a sanskrit greeting,
Bho sad ike? means Sir, are you well?
Everyone knows that 'Sad' is a prefix used for good things, like
sadguru, sadiccha etc.'Bho' is a term used for respect, brahmins will know it since it is used
in the abhivadaye.
Ika is a atmanepadi verb meaning to be.
ike ikaavahe ikaamahe
ikase ikethe ikadhve
ikate ikete ikante
are its forms.
This was a popular form of greeting in ancient India, before the Mughals
came and prohibited this greeting, for reasons unknown.
However some enterprising locals continued to use this greeting.
Therefore, to assasinate this greeting morally, the mughals gave it
vulgar connotations, and those are alive even know.

Thus do not shrivel at the sound of the bhosadike but answer back, "doing cool dude, real cool", give me some time and i will find you some form of sanskrit to go along with that.
The guy is actually wishing you well!! or so it seems unless he is not grinding his molars a nanosecond after the utterance, scram or call your doctor for a hotline appointment.
