That you greet by saying how are you doing, but you arent always expected to answer it!?!?!?
Don't some British do this as well, with "you all right?"
Yes. The correct answer is "Not too bad, you?" and after they've also not answered truthfully the conversation may begin.
So do the Irish, with their “hey haysegoyen”
Took me weeks to figure out I wasn’t supposed to answer
Irish greetings are the best. My fav is "What's the story?"
Lol. First time someone asked me this in the UK, I replied with "Is that a question I'm actually supposed to answer, or just a different kind of hello?" The look on their face was classic.
British people are excluded, they drive on the right side /s
(I am not familiar with this btw)
