Yo. It’s cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50’s white dude to say but it’s kinda automatic.
Probably worse in my native French.

'Sup?
I’m more of a Mrs Doubtfire “Helllllooooooo” type of person.
Heya
It varies according to the time of the day and or who I’m greeting. I think I mostly say ‘good morning’ etc.
“Huhu” (I’m from Germany)

Usually some version of “Hey!”
I’m a more sinister, third thing (haiiiiiii!)
“Hey, guys”
If I am not familiar with the person, I’m a “hiya/heya” person.
If it’s someone I’m familiar with/am glad to see, it’s a super sweet “Hellloooooo!”
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good day.
'Allo-'allo is my default greeting for most people I know personally. It’s bilingual (English-French) without devolving into the soulless Bonjour-Hi of customer service.
