when I was growing up in NYC, as a teen, we'd greet known people with,
"Hey Scumbag!" w/a reply of, "Nuttin' much, how the fuck are ya"?

Naturally, this was generally among friends and close acquaintances. A, "Hey Scumbag", to someone you didn't know would usually end up with someone going to a dentist.

I've lived all over this country, and am happy to report that Americans are truly great people! I've been down the, "Good Morning", "Hello", "How are you"?, "Waz Up"?, "Howdy", and virtually every other type of greeting that one can come up with.

Once, in AZ, a woman passed me by, and said, "Good Morning! Isn't it a great day to be alive"! I thought this was fantastic, especially after I heard her say it to a person about 10 feet behind me, just her way to make someone's day a little brighter; it sure worked for me!
