Sorry, there are only 10 voting options... please write in yours if it's missing!
(Feel free to throw in the language, too... I've lost my babel fish...)
EDIT: Sorry... the poll didn't load the first time >.>
I just can't resist an option that says the devil is in my pants =)

There's just something about the word "pantalones" that draws me to it. I mean, how many times do you say " the (something) is in my pants!" in English?

It's the Mira! Mira! (look! look!) part that get's people's attention when you say it out loud... It helps to point at the crotch in a rapid fashion with the index finger extended while saying it. Occasionally, it even works. :D
Romanian? ;)
Yup. Didn't know there were so many of us. :)

The English speakers and the "The Devil is in my pants! Look! Look! (aka: other)" NS'ers are all tied, with a surprise third place going to the Romanians!

Goodbye would make a very strange toast indeed.

I just say "Cheers" but I get my 2 year old to say it too, and clink glasses with me. She learned "cheers, clink" at New Years and has been doing it ever since, with great gusto.

These results are not at all what I expected... *TWO* Irish? *TWO* Slavic?
Shoot! The Romanians and Swedes are doing better as write-ins!!

Do you mean to say that we Romanians should fit into one of those options (beside El Diablo est in mis pantalones! Mira! Mira!)?

No, it means I didn't think there would be so many Romanians! I would have cut out the French or something...

Oh, thanks. No one says Cheers in the US. We just "pop a cap in yo ass". lol

Fifted. Or seventhed? There are at least two who use different spelling...
(though to be honest, the most usual one in my family is "Ge mig den förbannade spriten!" ("Give me the damn alcohol/spirits!"))
Edit: Austrians use "prosit"? :D That's "Gesundheit" in swedish (more or less, prosit is only used when someone has sneezed, has no meaning whatsoever and is a thoroughly pointless word)

It's "Saúde / Á sua saúde", and it's Portuguese.
We have a few others, as probably does every other country.

I never said I can actually speak Spanish (or Zulu...), only that I've used these toasts over time. ;)
I can imagine it useful at weddings, but at funerals? Really. I never thought of funerals as a place to get slapped by women. :D
