    "How's it going?", a slight raise of the right hand, or nothing at all.

    A lot of the teenage male folk round my neck of the woods tend to say "Awree" or "Stecraic" (short for whats de craic) or use both together. I wonder do they greet their mothers like that?

    "Awree ma, stecraic wi me dinnor" :eek:
