howyamomanem

'Howyamomanem' is a shortened, lazy way of asking "How is your Mom and them?" which itself is a pleasant greeting asking "How is your mother doing? And the rest of the family?" This phrase was originated in the 'coonass' areas of Louisiana (chiefly southern areas of the state), and in recent years has spread to other surrounding geographical areas.

"Eh Thibodeux, howyamomanem?"

"Eh, dey doin arrite. Danku for axin!"
