Internet slang shorthand for 'hello again,' used when someone returns to a chat room, forum, or messaging thread after a brief absence. Common in early IRC (Internet Relay Chat) culture and still seen in some Discord servers or online communities today. The 're-' prefix signals a return rather than a first greeting — it's efficient, friendly, and signals awareness of the ongoing conversation. Tone is typically casual and warm, not formal in any way.

She typed 'rehi everyone' as soon as she rejoined the Discord server after her internet cut out.
Origin: Blend of the prefix 're-' (again) and 'hi' (informal greeting). Emerged from IRC chat culture in the 1990s where brevity was valued. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
