Greeting

Saying “Hey, how you going?” as a greeting. Extremely common in Australia, but apparently, it isn’t used anywhere else in the English-speaking world. I was extremely surprised when I said it to an American one day while talking online, and they were confused. “What do you mean how I am going…? By car…?”.
It’s interesting because it’s like the perfect amalgamation of “How’s it going?” and “How you doing?”, but for some reason, it doesn’t seem to register that way for non-Aussies!
