    “but hey” is a colloquial conjunction phrase in American English. It’s usually used to indicate that the previous clause had a valid concern or made a good point, but the speaker is choosing to make light of it in order to disregard it despite knowing better, because they shortsightedly want the outcome described in the clause that follows.

    Another example: “My doctor told me to watch my weight, but hey, it’s Christmas and those cookies look fantastic.”

      British don’t say “but hey”. Australians don’t. New Zelanders don’t. South African don’t. Therefore, “but hey” is fucking broken american english.

        You know what’s funnier? English isn’t my mother language, because I’m not American. But hey, what do I know?
