Welcome to the forum!
Now it's "howzit" a South African greeting or Hawaiian?
Or both?
Term locals in Hawaii use to greet each other. The equivalent of the haole greeting "how are you?"
"Howzit, bra."
Also,
South African greeting - meaning hello, how are you and what are you up to? Alternatively, I don't really have the energy to stop and chat with you, but take this Howzit as being friendly enough -thanks. also a clear marker for when someone is a south african.
howzit ma bru, howzit ma chinabean, howzit china, howzit.
