Common tut of reluctant acceptance of an unfortunate, or rather an imperfect situation. Used by boomers in the North East of England over a catch up cuppa.

Get the Eee Heymug. A valid-but-rather-insensitive retort dat could be given when a naively-hopeful lady complains dat a guy whom she'd assumed would become a "real" romantic partner for her merely performed a brief "wham, bam, thank you, ma'am" routine and then bailed on her.
If a dude tries to "comfort" you after you'd suffered a failed romantic encounter by saying, "Hey, at least he did have the decency to THANK you for the sex", this may indicate dat HE HIMSELF is somewhat of da same "only interested in one thing" mindset as your unfeeling "cut and run" date was, and so he might not be a very good "main squeeze" candidate for you, either.

When you think you are good at something, then it turns out there is always this asian kid who is better than you. His name is usually something like Hei Ching.

Get the hei chingmug. 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!
