That's funny. I was once in a meeting with over dozen people. There were 5 or 6 Daves in the meeting (there were at least 8 Daves in the organization). So when someone said "Dave", we weren't quite sure which Dave it was being addressed.Dadface said:
That was my reaction too. I was going to reply with "I'm sorry Dave...", then got sidetracked.Borek said:
I expect it should be "HAL 9000's". But most of us just call him HAL, as in "Open the pod bay doors, HAL."
"Good morning Dave" is a common greeting used to wish someone a good morning, typically named Dave.
This phrase is often used as a casual and friendly way to greet someone, adding their name adds a personal touch and makes the interaction more warm and welcoming.
While it is most commonly used in the morning, it can also be used throughout the day as a friendly greeting.
The phrase originated from the 1968 science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the character HAL 9000 says it to astronaut Dave Bowman every morning.
The phrase is used by the AI character, HAL 9000, to greet and communicate with the human character, Dave Bowman. It is also used to emphasize the growing tension and conflict between the two characters as the film progresses.
