To Julie: The Bear and I have spent a lot of time in a part of the UK where "cheers" has multiple meanings, including, but not limited to:
Have a good one
That's all right
Bye for now
No worries
Thank you
You're welcome
A toast
I don't even drink alcohol, so I rarely make toasts. Think of it as an all-purpose salutation like ummm . . . aloha.
Cheers,
Jerry
I know all of this-but for some reason, I just hate this expression. I cannot give you any good reason. It makes no sense to me either. I guess also I like when coming into my little version of Hawaii (this forum)-to hear some Mahalo and Aloha. It is kind of like getting the lea at the airport.
