    Default Cheers! Slainte! Salut! What's your favorite toast?

    As inspired by Rob's cock! (Um, you had to be there.) Let's share some toasts!

    NO, I don't mean the kind you eat, silly SWers with the munchies. I mean the kind you make with glasses aloft! It's the holiday season, after all, and we'll be making all kinds of toasts to our loved ones and our dearly departeds. Share some from your own families, traditions and lives!

    Personally, I'm biased, but I think the Irish have the best ones.

    May the roof above you never fall in,
    And the friends gathered beneath it never fall out.

    May I see you grey and combing your grandchildren’s hair.

    May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

    May your glass be ever full.
    May the roof over your head be always strong.
    And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.


    and my favorite, most succinct one (easy to say when you're on your 5th pint):

    Here's to your enemy's enemies.
    "Before I conceived you, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were here an hour, I would die for you. This is the miracle of life." -- Maureen Hawkins

    "I just can't get over how much babies cry. I really had no idea what I was getting into. To tell you the truth, I thought it would be more like getting a cat." -- Anne Lamott

    On Robbie Burns Day we try the Scots toast. But I never get past "may a moose ne'er leave your girnal" before everyone busts up laughing.

    My girlfriends always do this one:

    Here's to the girls who buy all the shoes
    They drink all our beer and steal all our booze
    They may not have their cherries but that's not a sin
    'Cause they still have the box that the cherry came in!

    Lacks some of the finesse of the Irish ones, though...

    We use quite a few so its hard to pick a full on favorite, but here are a few that come to mind:

    Feel the Rythym!
    Feel the Rhyme!
    Get on up!
    It's Car Bomb Time!


    Here's to you, here's to me.
    Best friends we'll always be.
    And if we ever disagree.
    Fuck you, here's to me.
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
    Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

    There are a few my family uses:

    Genieße das Leben ständig!
    Du bist länger tot als lebendig!
    (Constantly enjoy life!
    You are dead longer than alive!)

    Hundert Jahre sollst du leben und dich freuen,
    und dann noch ein extra Jahr - zum Bereuen.
    Darauf erhebe ich mein Glas: Prost!
    (May you live to be one hundred years
    and then one extra year - to repent.
    To that I lift my glass - Cheers!)

    or just "Prost!" meaning 'Cheers!'

    I use a toast used by the Royal Flying Corps (the forerunner of the Royal Air Force).

    "May the skin of your arse never cover the head of a banjo".

    It refers to the early days of flying when pilots literally used to fly by the seats of their pants. (i.e. sensing the motion of the aircraft by the pressure on their backside).

    The Royal Navy has a toast too...

    "Wives and sweethearts (Pause) May they never meet!"

    Phil.

    "When we drink, we get drunk.
    When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
    When we sleep, we commit no sin.
    When we commit no sin, we go to Heaven.
    So let's all get drunk and go to Heaven!"

    Yeah, I've heard a variation on this:

    Here's to the girls in the high heeled shoes
    Who take all your money and drink all your booze
    We're no virgins but that's no sin
    We still have the boxes our cherries came in!

    The classic strip club toast, IMO

    I like that one! I'm boring, I just say, "Here's to me".
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    "Heres mud in your eye!" - Ive no idea what the origin of that is but as a child I heard it and found it hilarious and saved it in my mind until I was old enough to drink.

    "I like to drink, I like to fuck, I like to fucking drink, OI OI!" a quote from a song. I dont use it particularly but many friends used to at one stage and it brings back fond memories of rowdy drunk punk rock drinking sessions.

    "To the women we love...and the women we sleep with...may the two never meet!!"

    Also, the rough and durty russian toast, "pa-yehalyi!"

    The Italians say, "Chin chin!" I'm half Japanese, so I find this intensely funny because in Japanese, it means penis.

    ^ Yee haw!

    Mexican toasts are usually preceded by a smart-ass joke or some heartfelt declaration, or both co-mingled. "Salud!"
