Ayup Dan'el...
It's the traditional North of England substitute for ' Greetings and salutations to all you spiffing chaps and chap-esses! '
It's usually followed by a traditional Whack round th'Ead with a Black Pudding.... (Between friends and acquaintences, only of course, enemies' 'Greetings' are different..)
Have you never heard and read of the Ancient and Traditional art of 'Ecky-Thump' ? Shame on you...

A meaningless but friendly salutation normally associated with Yorkshire.

Ayup Alec...
Since when was saying 'Hello' in an interesting, friendly way 'Meaningless'?
> Since when was saying 'Hello' in an interesting, friendly way > 'Meaningless'?
As in "it has no meaning", I think is what he meant. It's not quite "Hello", and the word also gets used in a "Yes" context, but it's really a placeholder. One of the words from my youth "Areet" (sp) is a shortening of something along the lines of "Are you currently feeling alright, my dear acquaintance?", but though I may have used "Ayup" as well I've never managed to delve into its ultimate meaning beyond the colloquialism.
/Alternatively/, it could be a comment upon the nominal lack of "Dear Sir/Madam,"-style message initiator string on most messages (saving for the reference-line that can serve that purpose) that makes it a little... out-of-bandwidth to observe such a formality. But if it's a quirk you want to keep going, why not?

Ayup (!) Len..
No worries. actually thanks for the info.
I've been using 'Ayup' as a colloquial greeting for about 3 years since i joined the quarry where i work, (the boss started it i think as a Jokey *hello* thing because he's a rambler who spends all his free time in the peak and lake district) and i do like it rather than the rather formal, bland *hello*. strange, since i'm a Black Country lad from Wolverhampton originally. It's just 'Hello'. to me. I'm daft enough, I guess, without trying to cultivate any interesting 'quirks'. and its strange, because most of my modelling colleagues on the net, and in the flesh, who are from all over the country, use it too...
Thing is, I'd never address my mom and dad with it. I'd get a right smack round the back of the 'Earhole... and my mom follows through....

It's a little confusing over here, though... it sounds more like "yup", which means "yes". It's strange for me to see every post of yours start with "yes" even when you're disagreeing with the previous statement. 8p

Well, what is it's meaning? In signal processing terminology (e.g. the clacks), it is channel overhead, not carrying data. Necessary, even important, but not part of the data stream. In this context, tells me nothing I do not know e.g. from the headers.

(Ayup)... (delete as necessary) ...
Hopefully to clear everything up in one post...
To the confused... Hello all...
If i was talking on a pirate day, i would say 'AHARRR ME HEARTIES, PIRATE KING HERE'...
And...
If i was (Sir) David frost, i would say, (irrespective of ACTUAL time of day), 'Hello, Good Evening and Welcome...'
If i'd just returned from a Greek Holiday and you were male: I'd say: 'Halkidiki', and if Female and i wanted to sleep with you, 'Skilos Harigata'...
Ayup = Hello, Bienvenue, Guten Tag, whatever greeting you are used to in your own universe.
'YUP' to me is either a yoghurt drink here in the UK, or, a sloppy way to say 'Yes'.
