4. I'm attaching it to my faded, tight, ripped jeans. Pmann's MIA, but I'm sure he'd approve.

SMN started it. It was all her idea.
 
Hello

I don't think there's a word in the American English language has a more singular use or meaning. Sure Adele can sing it, even Lionel Richie sang about it but no matter where or when its used, the meaning never changes. So simple, and so focused.

I was trying to think of a word or action that was as singular in purpose as Hello. I couldn't come up with anything. Can you?
 
I think there's probably lots of them. I'm on my second large coffee and my mind is whirring.

How about words like horseradish or yam? They can only be one thing. Or am I completely missing your point (not out of the realm of possibility today)?

Hmm...Go?

Eh. Never mind. It can have different meanings for some.

Maybe it's just in America that Hello is only used as a greeting. I would be happy for any British Lit members to chime in here, but the first thing that came to mind was the stereotypical English bobbies on TV saying "Hello, hello, hello? What do we have here?", said not as a salutation but as an enquiry. And "Hello!!" is used sarcastically, as an exclamation when someone has done something stupid, in that context, it's not very friendly, more like "WTF?".

I often use it in those same contexts, and I'm American.

I was going to say "no", but if the boys at Stanford can't understand it's meaning, what help does the rest of society hold?

I've used hello I'm another context. Someone else mentioned that you can use "hello?" to as a question about something you've just seen, typically an action.
