re: #172 Shiplord Kirel: Fan of USPS, Goodyear, and Oreo

When I moved (back) to Lubbock in the 80s, I noticed a few people reacting oddly when I said “hello,” mostly a brief look of wide eyed suspicion, followed by a leery, “what?” or “huh?” I got exasperated with this a couple of times and said, “You know, standard English greeting, for quite a while now.” A little investigation finally showed that the goobers did in fact associate it with “hell” as well as with higher education (automatically suspicious ). Don’t use “hello” to low class whites in Lubbock or the rest of Gooberland. I am entirely serious.
