You used to have a special greeting for old people?

Formal/informal. Most languages have that kind of separation. In English it would be something like the difference between "Hello" and "Sup fuckface".

TIL I greet everyone as though they are old.

"Please, mister fuckface is my father. You can just call me fuckface."
