I believe it goes back to ancient times when you were sober and Disneyspy was young.

If it's someone you hate. You can say go to hell.

People were wondering this as far back as the first century:

"Why is it that we salute a person when he sneezes, an observation which Tiberius Caesar, they say, the most unsociable of men, as we all know, used to exact, when riding in his chariot even?"
-Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD)

Sometimes when I sneeze. I make it sound like Go to hell. If I'm around someone I hate.
That way if they bring up that god stuff. I have already wished them to hell.


I have heard your heart stops when you sneeze. So that is why we have the silly saying.

[Contra]

From what I know it started in ancient times. People thought that if you sneeze your heart may stop. So when you sneezed and you didn't die someone would say "God blesses you", as in you sneezed and didn't die, so you must be blessed by God.

[A.J.]

I just say "you are so beautiful."

I say "you're so good looking."

I say "May the devil take you soul."

I usually want to say "Cover your fucking mouth".
