Based on anime I know that if you don’t want to sound like a cringey weeb, the two best ways to greet people are “kisama” and/or “teme”

Ah yes. In addition, it's only polite to refer to yourself as "ore," and a true gentleman will also refer to everyone with the -chan suffix.

Actually “ore-sama”

Also, adding "o-" before a word makes it more respectful, e.g. "oisogashī", "ohada", "omae".

Refer to yourself as "waga" and make sure you use the proper honorifics by ending every sentence with "kono yarou"

Don't forget "an'ta" - be sure to omit the a in the middle. It's how all the cool and non cringe kids talk.
