CMRenji Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Idk I just thought of it. Do you say Bless you or Gesundheit when someone sneezes? Or do you not care one way or the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I say bless you, as it's been said to me, and I've said it all through my childhood, so it's just a habit, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Salut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Bless you is not a Christian tradition actually. It's a pagan tradition, somewhat of Nordic origin, designed to stop devils from entering your soul. And I have no clue what Gesundheit means but it's probably German. And I'm not German. But I use Bless You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Gesundheit, just because I used to associate bless you with Christianity. Mostly because everyone would say "god bless you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Since I have some German in me, I say "Gesundheit", but I'm totally okay with saying "Bless you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
