This just might be my favorite one. I’m cracking up! I do stupid ones. We say “‘ey!” here a lot (sounds like the letter “A”), so my sister will call me “‘ey!” and I shout “B!”…lame I know. But its so fun to do!

In reply to Jinnie. No, we just say 'hey'.XD sometimes I hear 'yo' or 'what's up'said as slang greetings, though.

I am from Poland and I have Korean husband too. In Poland we use “oi” also, but all the time I hear ‘I am not a cucumber”, But when he call my name “Monika” sounds like”머니까”

in my language “oi” means “hi”… but I live in London, so usually when I’m in public place I try to avoid saying it… it can be kinda awkward…
