Been living in Germany the last two decades, and they say “G’sundheit” even to total strangers sneezing in their vicinity. In our family we’ve adopted this habit too. Mostly because our own traditional “prosit” is conceived as “Prost” – meaning “cheers” in German.

According to my German ex-boss, Germans don’t actually say “Gesundheit!” when someone sneezes.

I’m a American-German and I say, “You’re so good looking”. Yes, I watch that Jewish show, with all due respect.
