IAtionary: Grüß Harvey

Grüß Har-vey [Grooss HAHR-vee] inj.

1. A greeting commonly used by Austrian Harveyists, and later adopted by Harveyists worldwide who cannot properly perform the Martian word for 'hello'
2. A way to greet someone while simultaneously showing respect to Harvey

Language of Origin: Deutsch

"Grüß Gott," literally meaning "Greetings to God," is frequently used by German speakers in Austria and southern Germany. Although the laws of Harveyism dictate that the Martian greeting is the official version, this is a handy alternative when the Martian version is impossible due to the circumstance.
