Heaven-o
It is wikipedia so I find this suspect, but here is what it says (via ToB):
In 1997, Kleberg County Commissioners unanimously voted to adopt “heaven-o” as the official greeting of the county instead of “hello”. Kleberg County residents are now encouraged to use “heaven-o” to acknowledge one another. The reason cited for the change was the fact that hello contains the word hell.

I better not refer to them as “assholes” since it has the word “ass” in it. Douchebags it is! Oh, wait.
I’m from Kingsville, which is the only real city in Kleberg County. This shit is absolutely true, believe it or not.
But Kingsville wasn’t the first. This was an emulation of another city’s movement to do the same(I can’t remember what city)
