"Hooroo!
Coo-EE! ????
Coo-ooh
LOL
It's 'Coo-ee' for the greeting and 'Hooroo' for goodbye
Here endeth the Aussie vernacular lesson for today "
Ok. Where I come from hooroo means hello or goodbye, as seen in some Radio National broadcasts.
Cooee is what you shout over a long distance to get attention or to get an echo (very common by the Three Sisters). Coo-ooh is a reply. |

"The funny thing is that I never said g'day when I was in Australia. No one I knew ever said it. Now that I'm in the UK it's become my standard greeting."

I used to love saying unknown Aussie stuff really fast like "Rippa-Bewdy-Bonza-Bottla Mate!!" and enjoy the blank confused look on their faces |

I don't sound like Paul Hogan, so people often aren't sure where to place me. I'm definitely not a Geordie, but beyond that... A few have guessed South Africa. Right hemisphere, at least.
The young daughter of an ex was very amused by my voice. I got multiple requests to say "Wake up Jeff!". I was too old and too childless to understand why, which only added to the mirth. |

I get the same "right hemisphere" confusion |
