One of my schools is home to the one and only “Hai” guy. He’s actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for saying “hai” the most during a 10-minute conversation. Tallied at 141 times, the Hai Guy dwarfs the competition.
The second time I heard him, he only said it about 60 times during a 5-minute conversation, but it stopped being funny. He sounds like a mixture of Dumbledore from the first two Harry Potter movies and Gary Busey. That might actually be the most hoarse voice of all time. Horses of Courses.
Cultural Note:
1. Hai – (Hi) – The standard acknowledgment word. Said very frequently. Also the most notable word in the Japanese vocabulary, next to sushi, ramen, geisha, and good hard sex.
