NuttyNeighbour Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I love the word "yo". I used it in a text this morning. My friends think it's weird because they all say "hiya". What do you guys think sounds cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I greet most people with "Yo hoe", so I'd say that 'Yo' was much cooler. 'Hiya' has an American-movie-designed-for-12-year-old-girls ring to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-Co Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I use a few words to say hello, such as 'Hey', 'Yo', 'Ey up' and 'Alreet' (a local thing!). I rarely say 'Hiya', and even 'Hi' sounds a little 'puffy', if you see what I mean. Maybe that's just me. How about different ways for goodbye? Normally I say 'See ya', 'See ya later', or just 'Later' and on emails 'TTFN' or 'So long for now' or 'Catch ya later'. I often used to say simply 'Bit' (short for 'See ya in a bit') which was something of a Simon-ism that didn't really catch on. Pity! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyNeighbour Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I completely agree Liz! Hiya sounds very 'Hilary Duff'. Speaking of 12-year-old girls, have you seen the new Neutrogena advert with Hayden Panettiere, who played Ally's daughter in Ally McBeal? She looks so grown up and sounds strangely.. English?!
