Aloha! When I lived in Hawaii, the locals used to say, "Aloha," all the time. The expression really grew on me and I often used it. It took awhile, but I finally learned that Aloha actually has three separate meanings. You can say, "Aloha," instead of saying, "Hello" when greeting someone. You can say, "Aloha," rather than saying "Good Bye" when you're balling your eyes out and saying farewell to your good friends. You can also say, "Aloha," instead of, "I love you" when you're hugging your Mom.
