The use of “hey” in place of “hello”.
"Hey" is used in Scandanavian countries ( eg: Hej / Hei / Hæ ) it is an actual word - so this is likley where "hey" comes from
In the Netherlands, it is "hoi"
I know sometimes people from the US might feel like they invented English but it's not the case, sorry :-)
