Phatic Communions

How often do you use them?

It is common to see people starting a conversation with unfamiliar people in a small school campus, an office building, a small town, a party etc. I jotted down some of the most common spoken greetings that can take place among strangers. I intend to update this post as and when I remember more of those.
How are you?
How you doing?, How do you do?
What’s up?, ssupp??
How is it going?
What's happening?
Have a nice day.
You too!
Yo!

The following phrases were contributed by yugan:
Hey!!
Hi!!
Morning!!
Good Morning!


One thing is for sure; these communions leave a healthy and positive aftereffect.
