    Some of my favorites

    Amharic - ይማርህ - May God forgive you

    Makes it sound like sneezing is seen as a punishment

    Kyrgyz - Ак чүч! - This may be based on an onomatopœia of the sound of a sneeze, like the English “Atchoo.”

    This is basically what my autistic son does, so it made me laugh

    No explanation needed for these last two

    Serbian - Pis Maco - Go away kitten

    Silesian - Pyrsk! - Cheers

    It’s okay, I don’t take it personally. It’s just such an odd thing.

      My favorite will always be a quiet ‘gross.’

        I’ve been using “ew” or “stop” with my friends and it cracks me up every time.

    If somebody sneezes more than twice, I will typically berate them for seeking attention.

    I wish people wouldn’t. I don’t. I think a polite “excuse me” is fine after sneezing, I don’t want to be blessed.
