Namaste
an ancient Sanskrit greeting still in everyday use in India and especially on the trail in the Nepal Himalaya. Translated roughly, it means "I bow to the God within you", or "The Spirit within me salutes the Spirit in you" - a knowing that we are all made from the same One Divine Consciousness.

The more formal greeting Sanskrit Namascar pronounced NAH-mah-scar is also used in India, though less frequently in Nepal. The Hindi "Jai Bhagwan" is also in common use, and carries the same meaning.

Namaste
Originally a respectful greeting from Hindu customs, it is now a pejorative used by English speaking Asians in reference to White backpackers in Southern and South East Asia.

A typical Namaste wears cargo shorts or elephant pants, has several Thai tattoos, yellow fever, and practices Buddhism despite being raised Christian. They usually spend several weeks or a month in Thailand or other parts of Southeast Asia, then return to their country just to criticize all their millennial friends for lacking experience.
