Abbreviation of Hello, an informal greeting.
Depending on the tone or situation it is used in, it could be interpreted as either a quicker greeting, or an indicator that something is wrong and/or the speaker would prefer not to talk with the person who initiated conversation.
People use ‘hi’ in such drastically different ways because it in itself is known as a polite term, used for greeting. It’s considered more polite to convey meaning in a solemn ‘hi’ rather than ‘Go away.’ or ‘I’m not well enough to carry this conversation.’

And by 'veils in my own rhetoric' I mean 'Weaponizing schizophrenia by talking about the things I do while they aren't around in a way that could be easily misconstrued as delusions of reference' or 'Using their children as a cudgel' which is how you know he is lying to detract from the fact they buried the 'Weaponized schizophrenia' I was talking about and are now trying to shield themselves from liability for child murders that may have occurred.

Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact That YouTube Influencers Are DELIBERATELY Trying To Make It Look Like Someone Has A Mental Illness They Don't Actually Have To Make A Point About Women Or Slurs Or Something!
