Definition

The typo version of 'hello' that's become so common it's basically its own greeting now. Born from fast typing and autocorrect failures, it's the accidental cousin of 'helllo' and 'hewwo.' Some people now use it intentionally to seem casual or quirky, which is a fascinating evolution of digital communication.

Example Usage

She always types 'helo' in Discord and refuses to fix it because she says it's her brand now.
