This is how I usually answer 99% of the time:

"Hokie's residence, Hokie himself speaking...." (substitute last name)

The caller usually pauses.....processes the info.....then starts in.  Things get better or worse depending who's on the other end.

i like aloha, alternating with hola, shalom, guten tag, magandag umaga, and a variety of hellos in other languages.  I do get lot of hangups though.

With CallerID available, I usually tailor it to the caller...
Brother:  Hey shithead.
Some friends:  Speak to me!
Wife: I didn't do it! or Hey Baby!

In college, I would sometimes answer "Student affairs... want one?"

Quoted:
Im bored of "Hello".

Thinking of:

"Yeah mate"
"Ahoy hoy"
"Goonie goo goo"  From Delerious by Eddy Murphy.  Its Latino
"Gday"  corny though

Any suggestions/thoughts?



"Student affairs. Would you like one?" (Have to credit a buddy in college for that. ) (Edit: Looks like MC_man beat me to that one; sorry for the dupe, didn't read the entire thread before.)

(Or, since you're in Oz: "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!" See if they reply, "Oi, oi, oi!")
