A phrase commonly used in northern England, it derives from Old Yorkshire dialect.
It is a phrase used for greeting, although it is laregely unknown as to why the terms "now" (meaning this instant) and "then" (meaning in the past) were put together to form another way of simply saying "hello".
Usually pronounced "Nah-then".

Used as a management speak put down for those who resist change and hark back to the good old days. After a novel of the same name by S.E.Hinton (later film starring Emilio Estevez)
Employee - "I don't see why we should do it that way, we never used to"
Manager (with obvious irritation and finality) - "I don't care, that was then...this is now!"
