Indicates the cause of a condition or event): Through the action of, caused by, responsibility for; by dint of. English is full of voice tones and gestures that express courtesy. These are vital to keep conversations smooth and flowing and can also prevent conflict. When we’ve had a falling out with someone, we might say hello or hi in clipped tones that do not invite further conversation. Hey you or hey you there spoken with an emphasis on the you signals that we know them. However, this form can also signal displeasure. They do, but to mix these up is often ok, and even useful as an “icebreaker” for a formal conversation:

We use hello, hi, and our name on the phone. If we know the person, we might say hey, it’s me or just hi because the other person likely has us listed in their phone.Saying hello in English is how we begin every interaction. Greetings set the scene and can influence the tone of the rest of the conversation; a faltering conversation can be difficult to continue.

How’s you? is a casual and tender way to ask after someone’s wellbeing. It indicates that you know them well.

The daft thing about all of that was our publishing company, Northern Songs, owned by Lew Grade, got the lyrics wrong and sent them round to the radio station and it said, “Get ready for my body gun,” which is far more suggestive than anything I put. “Get ready for my polygon,” watch out baby, I mean it was suggestive, but abstract suggestive, which I thought I’d get away with. Bloody company goes round and makes it much more specific by putting “body gun.” Better words, almost.
