It is of course not done when you give rounds of shots, but definitely when you cheer with beer-glasses. But BlackEyedDog is definitely correct about "Nicht lang schnacken..." ;-)<br /><br />Another rule here is that you never cross the arms of other people who are saying "Prost" but you wait until you have a free path to hit the other persons glass. And with beer glasses you always let them hit at the bottom, not at the top. There is also a saying that goes with that which I will not post here since it is slightly deminishing of women. :-)<br /><br />While I did live in Texas for a while I do not really know the habits of saying "cheers" since I was under age at the time. So I don't know if any of this applies to the US as well.Lutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231968465703587756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753693868431229580.post-78482867989087872972011-03-03T16:14:13.922-06:002011-03-03T16:14:13.922-06:00Following back!

All I know is that they have a weird taste concerning fashion, food etc. and a totally different mentality xD <br /><br />We folks up here, don't necessarily need to make eye contact with everyone....I guess we don't even drink with strangers that often....it's more like: "Why should I drink with you? I don't even know you!" I think it's not meant to come across as rude or something, we're just more reserved.<br /><br />One of my favourite toasts is:<br />"Nich' lang schnacken, Kopf in'n Nacken!"<br />I don't know how good your German is, it's just that I have no idea how to translate that right now^^<br /><br />anyways....thanks for stopping by my blog!
