Is "You alright" a plebby / commoner greeting?

Do you know slang in every other language/country? Almost every other culture and language I have encountered has an alternative greeting to 'hello'.

Nope, I went to Germany and everyone greeted with "Hallo" or "Guten tag"

In Amsterdam everyone said hello

In America it was "Hey man" and sometimes "What's up" but atleast they were still saying actual words instead of "yrite mateeee"

Just sounds so awful

Do you actually realise how pathetically snobby you sound? You don't actually use those terms in real life do you?

What I've noticed from being surrounded by people of all class and creed is that, to be deemed posh or not, it doesn't really matter what you say, it's how you say it.

Whether your upper, upper middle, middle, lower middle and lower, it's how you say something that's important, not really what you say.

I wouldn't bother to change what you say, if you want people to think you're a sophisticated person, then change your accent. There is certainly a correlation between wealth and level of education, and thus, the wealthier you are, the likelier you are to be better educated, and furthermore, have more vocab as your disposal.

I've met a lot of 'posh' people who say stupid things, and still sound sophisticated. On the other hand, I've also met a lot of 'non-posh' people who use sophisticated words, and still do not sound sophisticated.

You could say:

"Hello / Hey / Hi" followed by "How are you?"

You know, things that people with at least a bit of class would say"

Speak for yourself. Don't assume that the rest of us judge an individual by their accent, as opposed to the words they say. That's just your ignorance.
