idk if you're joking but not German; it was indeed halloo or holloo in English before hello became standard

“halloo, what’s this?”

"haaaallooooo" is used a lot by Germans as a slow exclamation to mean "hey idiot, what are you doing?"

It's used this way in American English sometimes, as in a teen issuing a counterpoint "HellOOOOoooo"

Try actually saying "hey idiot, what are you doing?" some time. It's very good.
