A lot of times I say “hey” instead!
Hey.
Listen!
I say howdy, though that makes some people mistakenly assume I’m from the south.
Happens to me all the time. Then if I append a y’all, outside of Texas, it’s game over.
I’m in Indiana, and “Howdy y’all” flies perfectly fine here.
Howdy, howdy, howdy, I’m Woody
This is me in you form!
Yo. It’s cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50’s white dude to say but it’s kinda automatic.
Probably worse in my native French.
Its either that or Hey. Weirdly, hey is my more formal greeting I use on the corpos at work. Yo is for people I’m cool with.

I’m a “Moin” person. Northern German for … Every conceivable greeting phrase on any time of day, night or apocalypse. And a complete conversation, too.
As a south German living in the north I like to throw a few “Servus” around now and then. Keeps people on their toes, never know just what to expect
I’m a hello, but I noticed my manager is a “hey how’s it’s going?” person. I asked him how many people actually tell him how things are going, and he said very few do. If we’re walking together, we now make note of the people who do or don’t answer.

I live in colombia and i just learned a couple new ways to say hi that aren’t just “hola”
You can say:
¿Que mas? means what’s up?
¿Como vamos¿ means how are we doing?
¿Bien o que? means good or what?
All of them are greetings.
¿que onda? if you’re a cool kid
That’s mexican spanish.
Buenas
¿Que tal?
I usually go with good morning, regardless of time of day
[nod]… and if i really like you [nod up]
Or raised eyebrows and smirk if I’m tired.
“Hey, guys”
