is "word" a correct greeting?

[guapo337]

i dont think so. but one of my friends always im's me and says "word."

annoying, eh?

 

[Ameesh]

no but w3rd is.

 

I have heard people use it as a term to signify agreement, but never as a greeting.

 

[Konigin]

No.

It's an online terminology that will one day be in the nerd book dictionary for the online newbies.

word. short for word up. similar to what's up. sounds like a very basic and oversimplified form of a greeting.

Edit: actually I don't think word up is similar to what's up... but more along the lines of "whats the word on the street?". It all originates from asking someone "Whats up". Which I see a lot of people saying.

So... I vote yes.

 

[nativesunshine]

no, just like "sup" is not a proper greeting...

i hate when people im me and go "sup"...annoys me to no end. bah.

sup is like...second greeting..after "hi, hey, hello, or yo"... it doesn't come first!

 

[skace]

sup is exactly the same as greeting someone with what's up. does that annoy you too?

So does that make, "yo, yo, sup" okay?

Fo Shizzle.

 

[dxkj]

well wassup wassup? just means hey yo , they really dont want to know whats up



I say "sup yo?" sometimes because it sounds funny

 

[guapo337]

good replies. as far as i'm concerned, "word" is a sign of agreement.. "word up" can be a greeting.

BS. It was in original day to day use as a term of agreement, greeting, etc long before it made it onto the web.

true.

 

[Zenmervolt]

If you wouldn't use it in a job interview or with your boss, don't use it at all.

Word is used to signify agreement.

Sentence is used for greetings.

 

[flyfish]

No.
The proper greeting is: " Yo, sup beotch or dawg"
