After a Sneeze do you say bless you, blessshew, or gesundheit?

[ForumMaster]

in hebrew you say "???????" which means "to your health" or something like that. it means be healthy. i always found that strange as a sneeze is a reflex and not any sign of something wrong...but whatever.

I tell them to shut up.

 

[Dee67]

If it's someone I know well, I'll say, "GROSS!"

If it's someone else, bless you. and aside from having grown up with it, I have no idea why I say it.

This guy I used to work with would say ...

GER-SHNOF-EL

gershnoffel ... I say it still 🙂 ... and especially there's this one guy at work who's anti religion ... so it's beautiful 'cause he can't get pissed off!

that is how I heard it growing up. It sounded like "blesssshew" to my ears. I am not religious, nor was I raised religious, I just accepted it as a kid and it's been habit ever since.

I don't say anything. Never really saw a point.

 

[thecrecarc]

Something like... "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PLAGUE INFESTED HEATHEN!"

 

[xanis]

Always "blesshew". It's just a habit.

 

[Rudee]

I say: "Son of a G0ddamned bitch!!!!"

 

[chusteczka]

I often say "Sto Lat".
This is a Polish wish for 100 more healthy years of life for that person.

 

[TBone48]

Mostly "Bless you", but occasionally "God bless you".

Unless they reel off like3 or 4 in a row, then "stfu"

 

[manowar821]

nothing

 

[rezinn]

I don't say the same thing every time.

 

[Zedtom]

When someone I know gets overly dramatic and has to unload his sinuses like an explosion, I usually ask, "didja get any on ya?"

:thumbsup: You have to say it right though: "You are sooooooo good-lookin'!"

 

[Kalvin00]

I say nothing.

What is with this retarded ass ritual of saying 'bless you' when someone sneezes anyways?

You seriously can't figure it out?

Think about it, no actually, say bless you out loud and sorta fast.

Get it now?

Bless You

 

[Perknose]

It's extremely interesting to me that so many of you claim to say only, "Bless you", which is a shortened corruption of "God Bless you", which many in my life have said.

But even the Catholic Irish side of my family favored the secular, German, "gesundheit."
