The original phrase is "God give you a good morrow". As the use of 'morrow' fell out of favor (you could say it has been *lost to the Morrow-wind*), it was changed to morning, and as it became a common expression, the shorthand was to chop off the God bit at the beginning. "Morning" would be an equally valid shortening, though the original etymology implies that the phrase was always to grant a blessing or boon, rather than to observe the morning being good, or to insist to others that they must enjoy it. In other words, the point of wishing someone good morning is not to spit in the face of their feelings, but rather to recognize them as they are and convey the dignity of being seen and cared about. Only the shorthand has made this fact less obvious, and with shortening to "morning", any chance of recovery is lost, and it will revert to a pure, emotionless observation as society gradually forgets.
"What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning, or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or, perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular morning? Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on?"

"..... I just wanted to say I hope your day goes well, my guy."
Dagoth even sounds groggy.
It's no coincidence that it sounds exactly the same as the word mourning. We mourn the loss of our relaxation.
"We Were Sleepers"
I only say "morning" because if it were a "Good morning" I would be fishin
I listen to this every morning, it is the only way I can survive at this point...
that “fucking disgusting” felt way too real
I have never before identified so closely with a fictional character.
This is just what I needed at 5:30 am
Truly, this gives a new meaning to the tribe unmorned.
My man needs a coffee. Or maybe a night schedule since mornings are so intrinsically awful

Literally hearing this while getting up for work and not feeling like going
If it was a good morning, I'd be fishing with Moon and Star
All this time I thought he was self employed as a god I had no idea he was even employed outside of that.
I’ve seen a lot of these but this is the best one so far made me lol several times. You got a talent for these, you should make more.
Morning.
Ive found that most good quality Dagoth AI skits like this one sound like they would fit perfectly into a George Carlin set
I'm the guy who says good morning no matter what time of day it currently is.
