In the US State I live in, I sometimes hear Spanish speakers greet one another by simply staying "Bueno". I didn't hear this when I was recently in Mexico, although I realize I may just have not noticed it. How or when is "bueno" used as a greeting? Is it considered slang, and what are some considerations in its use? Is it used a greeting in Spanish in other places beyond my lone state in the US? |

In Spain, at least in the Basque Country, it is sometimes used as a very informal "good bye", or "see you". Something like "bueno, entonces hasta mañana", and then dropping everything but "bueno". I've even heard it (and probably said it) reduced to "bo". |

Is used as a greeting when answering the phone (primarily in Mexico).
As a short form of buenos/as (días|tardes|noches) is used as greeting in some regions of Spain and Latin America (Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Mexico). |
