(v). The act of seeing a person and instinctively blurting a greeting, "Hey, how are you doing?" or "What's up?" without waiting for a response.

These questions, not actually salutes or greetings, are most often abused. If one is not looking for a response to these questions or does not actually care about an individual's wellbeing, he or she may consider refraining from asking the questions.

The combination of a salute and a departure is moot.
