A new pet peeve evolved over the weekend

It has to be subtle so they aren't sure whether they have been insulted, but not so subtle it flies by their just got the memo head. How about "aloha" or "ciao"? Nah, these have been done to death in previous decades though I could be reviving them- but that might go over the head of the behind the curve guy. Never having seen someone ahead of the curve, he might think I was behind him in the curve line. Any suggestions? I dont get out of Connecticut much so I am not so cultured.
Arriba?
Andale?
Salud? (which is spanish for cheers sorta )
WEhat is the French equivalent of Cheers? Nothing is more pedantic and pretentious than the French version of anything?

How about "godspeed"? It adds several additional layers of ironic coincidentalism.
