Answer 1

Qué hubo, donde la /e/ se pronuncia como /i/ por vicio de dicción
Quiúbolas, quibas, quiúboles, quiúbole. Formas bastante coloquiales consideradas para gente inculta o slang.

Yep.

quiubole would be it all put together in slang. Mexicans like their slang, just like the puertoricans.

It's pretty used in Mexico but it's said like key-hoo-bo.
When I was in Mexico (it's been a while), I often heard "¿Que hubo le? (although it was often run together to sound like "cubole".

Answer 5

And it can be pronounced slurred, like q-vo or pronunciated like "Qee-uuuu-bbb-oooo" it really just depends upon who u talk to.

Answer 6

Yes, that's right. It means "what's up", or "what's going on." It's common in latin american countries.

In Mexico they say "Que onda" or literally "what wave", it means pretty much the same thing as "que hubo."

You're dictionary will tell you to say "Que tal" but in reality it's not a common saying for "what's up." The other two are more commonly and more widely used.
