Hi,
Today I came across the word "hail-fellow-well-met". As far as I remember, it refers to somebody who is very cheerful and friendly from the moment of greeting. However, all the sources in which I managed to find this expression underline its pejorative ring and old-fashionism
. Do you, BrEnglish speakers, consider this expression obsolete and derogatory?
Thank you!
