      Well, to expand on that theory, ‘helo’ would have originated almost entirely with the radio tech of 50s and 60s military.

      A whole lot of lingo basically makes sense if you understand its origin, but when the term keeps being used for decades and decades, its removed from that context and doesn’t seem to make much sense in a modern context.
