minus-square@TopShelfVanilla@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink19•10 months agoI use the German word Gesundheit. It means health. I will offer it for most audible bodily functions, though, not just sneezes.

I use it for all of those, but also if someone uses or words I don’t understand or if they bite their tongue or anything similar. I successfully managed to confuse a lot of people doing that and it brings me great joy.
