idk if you're joking but not German; it was indeed halloo or holloo in English before hello became standard

“halloo, what’s this?”

"haaaallooooo" is used a lot by Germans as a slow exclamation to mean "hey idiot, what are you doing?"

Try actually saying "hey idiot, what are you doing?" some time. It's very good.

It's used this way in American English sometimes, as in a teen issuing a counterpoint "HellOOOOoooo"
