Random information on the term ” Ahoy”:
Ahoy (/əˈhɔɪ/) (listen (help·info)) is a signal word used to call to a ship or boat. It is derived from the Middle English cry, ‘Hoy!’. The word fell out of use at one time, but was revived when sailing became a popular sport. ‘Ahoy’ can also be used as a greeting, a warning, or a farewell.
One or another variation on the word is found in several languages. In Czech and Slovak, ahoj is a common, colloquial greeting, while ‘hoi’ in Modern Dutch and Swiss German, ‘oi’ in Brazilian Portuguese and Italian, and ‘Ohøj’ in Danish are informal greetings equivalent to the English ‘hi’ or ‘hey’.
‘Ahoy’ originated in the seafaring world, where it was used as an interjection to catch the attention of crew members and as a general greeting. It is often used today by participants in playful imitations of pirate speak.
Alexander Graham Bell initially suggested that the standard greeting when answering a telephone should be ‘ahoy’, but instead ‘hello’ (suggested by Thomas Edison) was adopted.
