It's a "two-part greeting" thing.
But this is HN, so nobody knows what that is here. :)
- cpach 7y agoHadn’t heard that term before. Feel free to explain :) Is it a sales thing?
- cardiffspaceman 7y agoEasily googled. Hi, welcome to hacker news. May I offer you some articles to read?
- mark-r 7y agoWhy does anybody come to HN, except to find articles to read? How would you know something is easily googled if you've never heard the term before?
- cardiffspaceman 7y agoIt is simply an observation. There was apparently no overlapping term from say, network engineering, or dramaturgy, to confuse the search. Contrast with "Go (programming language) - Wikipedia" which led to the invention of "golang" as a keyword so that programmers could search out programming articles for that language efficiently. BTW I did enjoy reading the article I found on "two-part greeting."

- tedunangst 7y agoWhy does anybody go to McDonald's except to place an order?
- cpach 7y agoWhy does anyone visit a recipe site except to read half a novel about how the author remembers his childhood when dunking madeleines in their linden-flower tea? ;-)
- bena 7y agoHi. I easily googled "two-part greeting". Now I know it's about the greeting at the drive thru in McDonalds when you want two McDoubles. Wait. No. That can't be it. It's about two critiques in drive thru greetings. Wait. No. That seems irrelevant as well. It's a Yuletide thing? Answering the phone? Wait. It's not easily googled. It's an obscure term of art apparently.
- dspig 7y agoHmm, not easily googled? I got something about drive-thrus but nothing actually using the term.
- tedunangst 7y agoNice work flagging the answer HN.
- cpach 7y agoI vouched it now, so it’s visible.
- mark-r 7y agoNope, not visible. Good luck with that game of whack-a-mole.
- cpach 7y agoOnce the comment is vouched for I don’t think it will go invisible again. I loaded it in incognito mode and it’s visible there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21938682 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21938682
- mark-r 7y agoSorry, the comment wasn't worded in a way to make it obvious that it was intended to be an answer to the question. My fault for missing it.
- sukilot 7y agoInternet says "two-part greeting" is "Hello/Welcome. How can I help you?" which seems irrelevant to this context.
