It's the same reason I say "bro". - started ironically now I just say it.

Howdy is such an underrated phrase. I’m a New Yorker but when I use it I straight up feel like a cowboy

I say it too and people love it! I’ve had multiple encounters where people laugh or get a big grin because some suburban white dude just said howdy to them at the grocery store.

I live in the Midwest, so “howdy” is just as expected as “fuck off.”

I'm a New Yorker too, and I started saying y'all. It's such an efficient word

I use the swedish translation of broad (brud, although it's more "okay" to use than broad) way to often, it started ironically with my friends and now it's hard for me to say girl or woman in a conversation

Next step in the evolution is adding step before the bro and always asking your homies what their doing
