I teach in a public school and I frankly hate the fact they teach Hi and Hello..

I don't know about you but I NEVER ever used Hi or Hello as greeting back home..

Hi and Hello were more like inquiry based greeting.. Such as in going into a shop and seeing no one at the check out counter.

I also used Hi and Hello on a phone but never in basic face to face conversation.

Any who I managed to teach most of my grade 5's Good Morning and Good Afternoon. Its bliss having to hear that greeting over the retarted Hi and Hello.

Yeah, When I see people on the street, I never say Hi or Hello. I always say, "K-zizzle, what's up my nigger?"

Well...I taught mine "Hey" "What's up" and "S'up"

I think I should teach them, "Yo s'up schrilla...let's get real for schizzle!"

I don't say hi....but I'm from Abjerkazamajam....

Yeah it's pretty stupid, Wench. Hi and Hello.. used as greetings??? Absolutely farcical, I agree.

I agree with the worn-outness of "Hi."
I think its a cop out Koreans use, just a simple one syllable that relieves them from any cognitive thinking when they see a foreigner.

Erm..."hi" is a pretty standard greeting, you dropkicks. So is "hello". Or are those normal greetings just too uncool for you.

And exactly how is that "score 1 for the waegook"?
