One of the most important words of Classical German. It was once considered an acceptable substitute for 98% of all known communication. Particularly popular in Northern German cities (such as Hamburg, Bremen and Rostock), today it remains widely used as a greeting & farewell. It's use, however, is frowned upon in Southern Germany - particularly by a subset of Bavarian society.
