Howdy is an informal greeting, commonly thought to have originated as a shortened form of the greeting "How do ye?" It was first recorded as part of the Southern U.S. dialect in 1840. Literature from that period includes the use of "How-do, how-do" as a greeting used by Native Americans when addressing Anglo settlers in greeting. The double form of the idiom is still found in parts of Texas as "Howdy, howdy". Without regard to etymological beginnings, the word is used as a greeting such as "Hello" and not, normally, as an inquiry.
It is typically associated with Southern American English, especially from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and the northern parts of Louisiana and Florida where the Southern dialect is predominant. It is the official greeting of Texas A&M University. It is also the name of the popular web portal at Texas A&M University.
In Texas, howdy is a colloquial contraction of the formal greeting of "How do you do?", and as such is a formal and acceptable greeting for residents of that region of the world.

Plot: Pork Rind is a busboy with sticky fingers and a belly full of cheap beer. When he realizes a psychic power he never knew he had, he and best friend, Weezie, embark on an all-too-easy burglary spree. Due in part to this new-found power, Pork Rind and Weezie keep finding themselves in the position of accidental heroes. When their thieving ways finally catch up with them, the opportunity arises to test their mettle, and prove that even the least-expecting slacker can rise to the occasion to become a true Antihero. Antihero is equal parts slacker-comedy and heartfelt adventure. A true product of guerrilla filmmaking, Antihero was shot over the Summer of '10, on a shoestring budget, with a two-man crew, and a lively cast comprised mostly of VCU theater students and graduates. Antihero took home awards and nominations from numerous festivals, including the distinction of Best Narrative Feature, from the Columbia Gorge International Film Festival.
