To avoid repeating myself, I will explain it here.* "Hau" is what dogs "say" in Finnish (they also "say" some other things such as "vuh"). At first I just greeted [Tessu] and family members by saying "hau" and then it widened to IRC & elsewhere. [Tessu]:https://mikaela.info/r/tessu It cannot be any worse greeting than "hai" (below) which some people use. ![hai](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/White_shark.jpg)
