Gesundheit? oh isn't that the German phrase for the same thing...or in good health, or something like that?

I don't say anything. I actually get a little annoyed when people say it to me. Not offended, but I sneeze kinda loudly, so I'm slightly embarassed in the first place, then to have everyone around me acknowledge the fact makes it worse.

I say it to my son, because if he sneezes and I don't he says "Daddy, say 'Bless You'"... :) How can I say no to that... :)

Gesundheit does mean "good health" Most other languages uses some form of "good health" after a sneeze. It makes so much more sense!


It reminds me of the Seinfeld. "you are SO good looking"
