The Dutch will most likely use `Proost!` or `Gezondheid!`, but I voted for the nordic `Skoal!`, as I actually do use that. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Let's see if I understand this... You were given the opportunity in life to learn a few Portuguese sentences... And the ones you chose were: Good morning. Lots of beer. Sorry, I don't speak Portuguese. Well, you definitely qualify as a Perl programmer... O:-)	[reply]

I carefully nestle my bagel between CPUs and wait for a few seconds to give it that nice golden-brown color. Then I remove it, add some cream cheese and grape jelly. I then enjoy it with a nice cappucino. Then I carefully brush the crumbs off my motherboard, and I'm ready to start the new day! ...roboticus	[reply]

Re: How I toast: by tubaandy (Deacon) on Apr 12, 2007 at 13:16 UTC
We say "Cheers!" at every meal, based on the tradition our youngest started when he was 3 (he's 7 now). For toasting with friends, I typically use "To Absent Friends", with a nod to Dr. F. N. Furter. Otherwise, put the bread on a stick and over an open fire is nice. ;) tubaandy	[reply]

Poking a fork around inside is the usual way to debug a toaster. `:-)` I was thinking along the lines of the Sting song, "Englishman in New York" which I believe is about Quentin Crisp. I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side However, I am not an Englishman, I don't live in New York and I don't like Sting. I like toast though. -- John.	[reply]

Ususally skål, in deference to my ancestors, or "Here's mud in your eye", in memory of the land of my birth, or "Chin" if I just want to go with the crowd, or else somewhere between 3 and 4, depending on how fresh the bread is, and how much use the toaster's seen in the last few minutes, because these days the thermostat is a little flakey. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

Re: How I toast: by j3 (Friar) on Apr 14, 2007 at 00:24 UTC
Interesting. Didn't know people actually toasted to the word "cheers". I'd always figured "cheers" was a slang term -- a sort of meta-toast -- that was used more as a figure of speech, or possibly used in a sarcastic manner, such as, "Well, it's 11 pm, the server's down, and we're stuck here until it's fixed. {raises cup of cold coffee} Cheers.".

Re^2: How I toast: by gregor42 (Parson) on Apr 16, 2007 at 13:00 UTC
This is dynamically influenced by geographical context. (i.e. Which side of 'the pond' you're on) Similar rules apply to usage of other common terms, for example "lift" as signifying an elevator system or something put on the bottom of one's shoe to make them appear taller.

i'm czech and there it spells na zdravi(recognize the I), what they wrote here above sounds more russian (na zdrOve) or slovenian (some other slavic tongue) to me.
