    Cheers . . . . what does it mean?

    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!

                              I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I wish I was drinking wine instead.

                                          Isn't it commonly said in Oz as well?

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

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