greetings and salutations
Ways of acknowledging
Greetings and salutations is a playful, deliberately formal way of saying hello.
The phrase doubles up on words that mean roughly the same thing, giving it a theatrical or mock-ceremonious quality: Greetings and salutations, my friend!
It became associated with the character Heather Chandler in the 1988 film *Heathers*, adding a sardonic edge to its use.
