Howdy, or Howdy Doody, is a slang- arguably Western- as the tv show had residual cowpoke angles- Stetson hats, shirts with a Westland fling-if you will, it is an adaptation of the standard greeting- How Do You Do? like that Howdy Doody! The phrase may have been popularized by Will Rogers, Gene Autry or some other Media cowboy types or humorists. It was widely used by the late $l.98 hat famed Minnie Pearl (Howdy!)
