    He is correct about it pointing to origin. But incorrect in that it does in fact change meaning.
    Hello. Hi. 'Ello. Hey. Heya.

    Notice how the meaning hasn't changed at all, only the origin? And to use your examples, the meaning didn't change until you added a whole additional clause.

    Of course the meaning's changed. Just not the primary meaning. A different sort of person says "Hello" than says "Heya". The meaning you convey says something about you, and that changes when you change which word you pick.
