Cheers . . . . what does it mean?
 

and they are always glad you came...

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

cheers = thank you

Cambridge right down to Cornwall, England

I cant stand it when people say cheers to me

Its almost a term of acknowledgment more than anything.

Isn't it commonly said in Oz as well?

Yeah Aussies always say it now.

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".

Just say 'No worries'.

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.

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).
