Can also be used as an expression of enthusiastic agreement in a conversation, as demonstrated below in Example 2.
NOTE:
One theory suggests that this variation of "hey" was popularized by the character of Dwayne (portrayed by Haywood Nelson) in the sitcom "What's Happenin'," although Dwayne's usage was three "hays" with shortened syllables, with the inflection on the middle "hay," as shown in Example 3 below.

Get the HAY GURL HAYmug. A Hays is a person who is funny and sarcastic, and may seem intimidating sometimes, but once you get to know him he’s the best person you’ll ever meet. He’s not afraid to acknowledge his glamour and he’s super confident. A person who is a die hard romantic, but only for one person. He won’t give up on those he loves, and won’t hesitate to let you know how he feels. He’s straight forward and passionate about things he loves. He’s smart, but won’t admit it. He’ll steal your heart so quickly, you won’t realize that he has. He’ll torment you with his good looks and amazing personality, but he’ll always make sure you’re ok. He’ll tease you and make fun of you in the loveliest way possible. He’ll make your heart beat fast and you won’t know why. A Hays will be a man who fulfills your every dream.
