G'day g'day...

When I log onto Scrabulous it says 'hello' to me a different language each time, and it adds, "Hi there! Each time you login, you will be greeted in a different language! This feature was added to embrace users from all over the world into our little community." I get a big kick out of this, but seldom remember the words if I don't know them already - or I remember them, like "Sannu", but forget what language they are from. Today I got the Welsh Siwmae. You can scroll through the words to check them out.

Yesterday I got "G'day", which it cites as Australian. I have no reason to doubt it. But I used to know local people - Ottawa Valley people - who always greeted me with: "G'day g'day." They always said it twice. I loved that.

Have other people heard that?

Not that, but my mum's parents always greet us with "Hello, allo, allo", which seems to be more a them thing rather than a New Zealand thing.

It's kind of an English thing (which some kiwis have) - kind of jocularly impersonating PC Plod on the beat.

To my ears, it sounds like French-Canadian!
