Questions edit
- Shouldn't this identify the greeting form also?
- Is this use endemic to a specific region?

- The greeting is not usually (ever?) hyphenated. Equinox ◑ 15:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
alt spelling edit
We should probably also have the alternate spelling how-de-do, at least as a redirect, as in the following from Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado Here's a how-de-do! If I marry you, When your time has come to perish, Then the maiden whom you cherish Must be slaughter'd too! Here's a how-de-do! Here's a how-de-do!
