People from outside of the area think that people from New Jersey and New York only say, "How ya doin'?" No, not everyone. That affectation doesn't apply to anyone but my son who seems to desperately want to sound regional!
Me? I tend to say, "Hey," or "Hiya." Occasionally, "Greetings." I know. I am weird.
How about where you live? What is the usual greeting?
It tends to be Hi or Hello, or often people say "Alright"
ReplyDeleteApart from the usual greetings, I sometimes say "How's it goin'?" or "Alight?" and in the morning I either great my colleagues with a very enthusiastic "Morning!" or a less enthusiastic "Has the kettle boiled?" ;-)
ReplyDeleteI said hey for way too long, now I make a point of saying HI or Hello, it just sounds a little fancier to me than hey.
ReplyDeleteI say hello when I answer the phone. In person, I say hi.
