Can someone tell me what this means?

打招呼.引人注意时的喊声

And why does it translate online to 'Greeting. Remarkable time shout.'

Something tells me he tried that before asking the general population here.
I would forward you (Louis) to a good Chinese/English site/forum if I had one readily available.. but I suggest you find your own. :P

say hello, when got people's attention then scream

That's the translation according to my Taiwanese friend. Also confirmed by some of the many Chinese colleagues who work here with me :)

So from the online translation thingy, the 'greeting' and the 'shout' fit.. 'remarkable' and 'attention' seem to have some relation, albeit more vague.. but 'time'? :?

But I have to say, it creates an hilarious image in my minds eye.
Nooblet: Hey, hello you!
Random passerby: Hey you, do I know you?
Nooblet: AAAAAAAAHHAAAAAAHHHH!! WAAAAAAAHHH!
*rolls on the floor*
So very funny if you'd do that in a crowded place.. :lol:
