What's Hot

I am at dinner in Frankfurt at this moment and we have done the usual 'clinking of glasses' type of toast.

Is there an exact English word for this type of toast? I have said not (or at least I cannot think of one).

    If you're with Germans, tell them we call it Schwamlippe

    Cheers is probably the closest, isn't it?

    Just called toasting, isn’t it? 

    When I was in my late teens/early 20’s I used to frequent a certain pub and my friends and I got into a stupid routine of clinking glasses and screaming (like, actually screaming) “chin chin” as loudly as we could every time we got a round in. If you drank in The William Morris in Hammersmith circa 2001, I’m really, really sorry.

    The English phrase is ‘a toast’, accompanied by “cheers”, “good health”, “chin chin”, etc etc.  In German, “Prost” or “Zum wohl”.

    I was more interested in finding out if there is actually a word that describes the process of everyone clanking their glasses together Bavarian style?

    'Toasting' is the best I can do. 

    'Your health' is the incarnation in our house.

    What did they say in the dark and middle ages when slamming their flaggons of ale together after a victorious battle?  I doubt it was ‘cheers’, which sounds far too polite!

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Germans have a word to describe the feeling of embarrassment on discovering you've been deliberately misled with an incorrect translation for comedic effect.

    Probably Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften or something.
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
    Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    In Wales we say Iechyd da which means Good health. 
    My mother was Welsh and I always thought her side of the family said 'yachy da'.
    However it's said they said it a lot I recall.
    I was telling it to my daughter just yesterday as one of the six welsh words I know.

    The Germans have good long words for everything!

    That said, I recall Steven Fry once saying that the slang German word for a mobile phone was "Flippi", then saying in a very camp, Gruber-esque voice, "Ach, wo ist mein Flippi?" to great comedic effect...
