An annoying, extremely irritating communication, usually performed at work, where a coworker will reach out to you, usually on an instant messaging platform or text message with just the word “hey” or “hi.” The offender will not say anything more until you respond, then either they will get to the point or will engage in meaningless chatting while you are attempting to complete another task. The painful part of this communication is that it will raise your anxiety level, especially if it is from your boss on a Friday, especially on a Friday morning, (can you jump on Zoom for a second? Aka layoff), or on a Friday night, (I have a fire drill that needs your attention ASAP, it might be an all nighter). The Hey hanging provokes the worst case scenarios, fear, and even paranoia when the victim is trying to figure out what is coming next.
I just got a ping on Teams from this project manager who I haven’t spoken to in months. The ping just said “hey,” now I am racing through my mind like crazy. What did I miss? What does he want? Is this person going to saddle me with something that will ruin my day? Get to the point and stop hey hanging me!

the worst possible insult you could ever say to someone ever, if you ever say this in public you might get cancelled
person 1: "I think Palestine is a country"
person 2: "hey pal, you just blow in from stupid town?"
person 1 proceeded to support Israel from then on.

Something that Jeffy from SML said in the video “Jeffy Gets Fixed!” when Marvin started hitting him for pouring the Cheerios onto him.
Jeffy: Hey, Daddy, can you help me pour some milk?
Marvin: Jeffy!!!
Jeffy: What?
Marvin: Why you wasted all the Cheerios for?!
Jeffy: Well you told me to figure it out and this is the best I could come up with!
Marvin: No, Jeffy, you go pour those Cheerios out 'cause you're wasting them!
Jeffy: Okay!
Marvin: W- No- N- Not here!- Jeffy!! *starts hitting him*
Hey, you hit my eyeball off!!! *Rose’s voice actor starts laughing in the background*
Marvin laughing a little: Go clean yourself up…
Marvin: Jeffy!!!
Jeffy: What?
Marvin: Why you wasted all the Cheerios for?!
Jeffy: Well you told me to figure it out and this is the best I could come up with!
Marvin: No, Jeffy, you go pour those Cheerios out 'cause you're wasting them!
Jeffy: Okay!
