'ello 'ello 'ello part 324 - Only in Texas
Pharyngula notes that 'hello' has now been officially replaced in a Texan county by 'heaven-o' because of the first satanic syllable of the traditional greeting. Think it'll catch on? Any alternative suggestions? What other words will we have to dump to stay on God's good side?

Is there any language in which "heaven-o" translates as "hang me upside-down and beat me in the face with a metal rod"? I'm sure I read it somewhere, and will therefore act upon it.
Or could it possibly be interpreted as "heave eno" - which would constitute a violation of the human rights of an experimental musician and founder member of Roxy Music?
Or even misheard as "he has had enough" in the stricken land of the cleft palate?
And why has Texas got the word "ass" in it? Maybe they should all move to Scunthorpe.
Serious points. We should now ban Texas from our e-mails, and put the emphasis on the last syllable.
