I'm from the Southern US and I have this weird version of "howdy" that I say that sounds like "Hi-dee". It's either that or "hey", "sup", "how're you doin'..." or something like that.
Kentucky, but it's not a state thing or a southern thing... it's a me thing. I'm weird even by a southerner's standards.
(I do consider myself a redneck though, but my definition of redneck is a blue-collar, hard worker. "Redneck" literally came from where people would get sun-burnt on their necks and upper backs from where they worked outside so much.)
Technically, when you look at a US map with the different "regions" colored in, KY is the northern-most of the southern states. We were the crossing between the North and the South during the Civil War.
So the majority of us may not be "old-school" country, but we still hold true to parts of the lifestyle. I'm actually helping a friend of mine get an alternative agriculture farm started right now. ^_^ We have pygmy cattle, goats, regular chickens, meat bunnies, and now "sea brights". You ever seen a sebright? THEY SO PUUUUURRRRTYYY!!! :D

How do you greet your friends?

I am not trying to be a dick or anything. But where I live we don't consider Kentucky to be a southern state.
