Which do you prefer to use as greeting?
>caricature template>calling anyone else npcslmao never any self-awareness behind these UHHH I'M MAD SO THIS IS YOU starter pack maymays
>>85648145i use hey just like the gigachad of cause. yep
>>85648145if this was a thing i would use whichever one i needed to use to meet my goal
"NIGGER"*Shits self*
>>85648145The Thad "Howsitgoin"
>>85648145Where does "Howdy" stand?
"Howdy doody"
>>85648166quirk chungus redditor
>>85648145I'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
>>85648145how about "heya"
>>85648145i 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.
>>85648201>>85648166Retarded hicks
>>85648205>heya>hicknigger, I don't live in america
>>85648145what about "yo!"
>>85648214Normal people there's no niggers on here
>>85648145I 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.
>>85648221I'm white as fuck but I grew up in Southern California in the '90s, "yo" is universal.
>>85648205I was born in a top-ten US city, and I say Howdy because I am a white man.
>>85648229Ur spic there's no white people left in south California
>>85648231Lot of white trash in big cities
>>85648145i like to say oy/oi>>85648201hell yeah only comfy people say this. my aunt says it and she's the nicest person i know
>>85648238Shouldn't be talking shit, what with being illiterate.
>>85648241Are you British? >>85648250I think the manner of speaking says a lot about you
>>85648232LA 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.
>>85648205I'd rather it be associated with trailer hicks and country folk then fucking redditors
>>85648283Yeah drug addicts and people who worship Jew on a stick
>>85648145HAALLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAA>Non-ASCII text is not allowed.
>>85648145Grunt and nod usually.
>>85648166>Where does "Howdy" standoriginally
>>85648145What a lame thread.Seriously, I didn't browse the web for 2 weeks and this is what I see.Any good forums out there?
>>85648145yoooooo is my favorite
>>85648145I 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.

>>85648851Mr. Autismo, it's "(Have a good) morning." People are staring at you for something other than your completely ordinary choice of greeting.
>>85648184Can nobody have a personality anymore without being reduced to a cringe performative jester by abject CATTLE
>>85648145I would personally use howdy. Holy shit wtf are the mods doing in the background? The captcha is glitching out badly.
>>85648906You 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 THISNo, 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
>>85648913Howdy.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.
>>85648913It'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
>>85648951I 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
>>85648145>Greetings and Salutations!
>>85648145If it's someone I'm familiar/friendly with I drop a "sup bitch"Otherwise it's usually "hey"
>>85648145>waddup faggotsIs usually how I greet my friends.
>>85648145anyone else burnsmaxxing?
>>85648145I prefer OI!
hey or sup
>>85648913I grew up in the wild west I'm at least granted a little howdy now and again
hi and hello sound too autistichey sounds too friendlywhat the fuck should I say instead
>>85648906People 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
>>85648145I 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>>85650723This. 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.
Salutations
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
>>85650723Generalization: The Post
>>85648145NPCjak is lowkey cooler than Chad. He's like skynet coming from the future and Chad is just some bitch ass human he generated
>>85650862Look up the movie Toy Story it'll blow your wig back and knock your socks off then you'll turn around and find your wig wearing your socks like a little garment homunculus
>>85650933I 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!"
>>85648145Hi diddly ho.
>>85650941"Ya'll" is just largely white women co-opting AAVE to sound streetwise/hip and it's unbearably cringe
>>856509414chan 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
