Apparently “ahoy” was a common greeting before the telephone was invented, to the point that Alexander Graham Bell suggested it for use when answering the phone.

While it wasn't a general greeting, "halloo" was already used as a verb meaning "to call for a hunting" in the 14th century.

There are countries in the world, where you enter a room in the morning full of dear and beloved friends and colleagues, and you would neither greet them nor make eye contact until they wanted something from you.

I don't know whether this would be my heaven or my hell, but as a brit, useless smalltalk is practically baked into my bones.

Someone on social media literally cannot stop thinking about this.

Kateekalo!

Phones weren't invented in 1825, this meme picture is historically inaccurate.
