I'm reading a script in my head, so Hello to the various NPCs and hi to my family. Hey to friends and goodbye to any lovers
>>
you can fulfil merge requests if you want but i don't think anyone cares anymore
>>
>>85648145
how about "heya"
>>
>>85648145
i change it up depending on my mood and who I'm greeting, because I'm a dynamic human being, not an autist, an internet meme, or a stereotype.

>>85648145
what about "yo!"
>>
>>85648214
Normal people there's no niggers on here
>>
>>85648145
I only ever use "hi" or "hello" on the phone.
IRL I guess it varies depending on the person and context. "Hey, how's it going?" if it's at the more professional end of things, "yo" or "sup" if it's more casual, sometimes even something stupider like "oh shit whaddup" or "eyyyyyy" for certain people.
>>
>>85648221
I'm white as fuck but I grew up in Southern California in the '90s, "yo" is universal.
>>
>>85648205
I was born in a top-ten US city, and I say Howdy because I am a white man.
>>
>>85648229
Ur spic there's no white people left in south California

Are you British?
>>85648250
I think the manner of speaking says a lot about you
>>
>>85648232
LA was still majority white when I was born, about 46% white to 31% hispanic. The real flip didn't happen until the mid-'90s after the Prop 187 shitshow. That aside, I'm not left in SoCal either, I live in middle of nowhere 90% white Oregon now.

>>85648205
I'd rather it be associated with trailer hicks and country folk then fucking redditors

What a lame thread.
Seriously, I didn't browse the web for 2 weeks and this is what I see.
Any good forums out there?
>>
>>85648145
yoooooo is my favorite
>>
>>85648145
I don't do salutations when texting but I prefer Hello Hello in a phone call or IRL.
>>
Gotta go with "yo what's up" for that casual feel
>>
Just reference the time of day.
>Morning.
>Afternoon.
>Evening.
Nice and neutral. People who are kind of subliterate don't get it, though, or rather they have to pause and think about it.
>>
i say hey, almost always, but it doesn't feel like anything special. it just seems the most natural, and feels good on my tongue. sometimes hallo, or even halloo. rarely yello, but only on calls.

Mr. Autismo, it's "(Have a good) morning." People are staring at you for something other than your completely ordinary choice of greeting.
>>
>>85648184
Can nobody have a personality anymore without being reduced to a cringe performative jester by abject CATTLE
>>
>>85648145
I would personally use howdy.

Holy shit wtf are the mods doing in the background? The captcha is glitching out badly.
>>
>>85648906
You don't have a personality, you say "howdy" because you think it's quirky, most likely because you saw some other quirk chungus foid on twitter do it so you began to say it too. You're not a cowboy.
>>
>>85648913
>immediately jumps to YOU MUST DO THIS
No, retard, it's just a common variant of a standard greeting that gets pretty stale after several decades of life, open yourself up to some fucking change cretin
>>
>>85648913
Howdy.

I've never been a cowboy, but growing up I did have the ability to summon cowboys on horseback by phone. Neighboring rancher's barbwire fences were mostly held up by rotten tree branches, so it was a regular occurrence to find stray black angus.
>>
>>85648913
It's not common but it's not uncommon either. It would sound dumb with a yankee or one of the coastal accents but it's a solid choice as a response to a greeting if said loud or maybe doubled. Not everything has to be ironic, that shit gets old so fast. Drop the code switching and lean into the redneck thing. Most people outside of the deep south only have knowledge of them from movies and negative stereotypes. They're more likely to give you the benefit of doubt. If you use a weird word or expression they can't tell if it's autistic or if it's jus dey culcha fr fr
>>
>>85648951
I agree on the irony point, some things can just be playful and light without requiring some subversive meta surrounding it to justify deployment, a lot of kids here are deathly afraid of being playful though because they've been brainbroken and cucked by collectivist sentiment that punishes any kind of offbeat behavior, it's basically the consequence of low income nigger culture that revels in its own ineptitude so any standout phenomena get perceived as threats to the status quo of loserdom
>>
i always say hi to older ladies or kids and hey to everyone else

If it's someone I'm familiar/friendly with I drop a "sup bitch"
Otherwise it's usually "hey"

hi and hello sound too autistic
hey sounds too friendly
what the fuck should I say instead
>>
>>85648906
People with "personalities" in the sense you are describing are cringe narcissistic clowns who put on performances for attention.
>>
I usually say "heywhatsup" slightly too quiet and then people ask me to repeat myself and the social interaction already starts off badly
>>
>>85648145
"Yo"
But in an extremely original way
>>
>>85648145
I used to say hi but stopped since it got co-opted by shy boy cosplayers online. moved to hey or sup I agree with this meme for I am the chad
>>
>>85648913
>>85650723
This. In fact, nobody has ever said "howdy" until the early 2010's. It's a fake word made up by Jews. People in the South and Midwest DO NOT actually talk like that. You are 100% correct, anon. Everything is not what it seems. There is always some ulterior motive.

Just mogged my roommate with an impossibly cool "Hey", he stammered back a feeble "h-hey" crudely mirroring my excellence, I performed a 900 degree twirl and sashayed back to my room leaving him breathless in a stunned daze

I have no idea what you're saying but just so you know, I was being sarcastic. And I agree with you. They pissed me off. It's like the retards who think "y'all" is a "reddit term". Like what the fuck does that even mean?
>>
"Mio chan, Selamat Pagi!"
>>
>>85648145
Hi diddly ho.
>>
>>85650941
"Ya'll" is just largely white women co-opting AAVE to sound streetwise/hip and it's unbearably cringe
>>
>>85650941
4chan is so schizo that the sarcasm didn't even register, what you said is absolutely something somebody would say here without a hint of irony
