In America we say Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior Bless You

In Denmark, we say "prosit", a Latin word meaning "may it be beneficial" originating from the time of the Black Death.

Basically, we tell sneezing people that we hope they don't have the plague. MUCH better than invoking someone who's their own imaginary dad or just saying "health", if you ask me.

In German, we use "Prosit" as "Cheers" when drinking in a group. 🙃

Oh, I couldn’t have been more sarcastic with my comment. Saying “God Bless You” to a sneeze is fucking stupid.

just saying “health”,

It's short for "I wish you good health (and not the plague)".

“may it be beneficial”

May what be beneficial? In German, "Prosit" (usually "Prost") is a form of "cheers" or "bottoms up" because that beer better be beneficial or else.

Probably wrong but I thought it was Fitzgerald although "Fucking is my middle name" does accurately describe the man.

Why is this labeled as nsfw

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Overzealous protecting of people from the word "fucking", I guess 🤷
