Cheers . . . . what does it mean? - GoFuckYourself.com

baddog · 05-20-2007, 10:04 PM

I have clients from Oz and England and other places where "cheers" seems to have a different meaning than what I thought it meant. Kind of like how aloha means hello and good-bye.

What are the different meanings of cheers where you live (and where do you live)?

Cheers here is like salute when your making a toast. IE...your signal to pound your drink!

Silly Guy · 05-20-2007, 10:21 PM

I cant stand it when people say cheers to me

Sly · 05-20-2007, 10:33 PM

Its almost a term of acknowledgment more than anything.

That is kind of what I was thinking . . . .I never know how to respond. Do I say, TY, OK, or NP?

TonyL · 05-20-2007, 10:58 PM

I think you just smile or nod... More of an acknowledgment as said above. Kinda like "dude".

Cheers can be used as a salutation or toast or to say thank you.

Sometimes gets used to sign off on emails, phone calls, etc too.

Mutt · 05-21-2007, 03:03 AM

Because of the Internet it's caught on with alot of non-UK people who now end their emails with 'cheers' - i hate it personally.

In Japanese, the traditional salutation before drinking is Kampai (pronounced "comm-pie"). It means "empty your cup" - the characters for 'Kampai' literally mean 'dry' (kawaku) and 'drinking cup' (sakazuki).
