allo

French and Canadian word used when phoning people over to confirm you've picked up the call or to check if someone did.
Very widespreadly used in Frane in the fixed telephone days.

Can also be used as a substitute to WTF (less common)

If you call :
- Allo ? It's me, is mom here ?
If you pick up the phone :
Allo ?

As a wtf substitute :
- Jen is getting married even though Adam cheated on her 10 times !! Allo Jen ? Wake up ??
