Quotations, Blessings, Proverbs and Toasts
Odds are you'll hear the word "Sláinte!" (pronounced 'slawn-cha') on St. Patty's Day. It's a common Irish toast, meaning "Health! "
The equivalent word in German is "Gesundheit." Toasting with it at Oktoberfest is discouraged.

Better write your favorites down. If you celebrate properly, you may require assistance from a designated reader. Saying "suh lawn chair" instead of "Sláinte!" is evidence you require assistance from a designated driver.
