The don't say it after sneeze.

I know the word from a drinking game. If someone burps, everyone on the table must say "schultz", and the last one or the one who doesn't gets a slap on his forehead.

Why is a sneeze called a sneeze?

Because when you sneeze the sound you make is "SNEEZE!" ^No, it really isn't. I've not heard one person say "SNEEZE" when they sneeze, ever in my life. I've heard people say "Achoo", "Atishoo" and other ones, but never "SNEEZE".

In English, you say "Bless you," or "God bless you."In Spanish, you say one of several things depending on where you are and which number of sneeze it is. The first sneeze in Latin America is "Salut!" (health); the second sneeze is "Dinero!" (money); the third sneeze is "Amor!" (love). If you are in Spain, you say "Jesus" for the first sneeze, then "Maria" for the second and "Jose" for the third - Jesus, Mary and Joseph.In German, you say Gesundheit (health).In French, you say "A tes/vos souhalts" (to your wishes).In Dutch, you say "Gesondheid" (health) after the first sneeze, but after the third sneeze, you say "Morgen mooi weer" which means "Good weather tomorrow"In Turkish, you say "Cok yasa" (live long) after the first sneeze and "Sagliki yasa" (live healthy) after the second - the person who sneezes then says "And I hope you'll be around to see it!"In Arabic, you say "Yarhamkum Allah" (God have mercy on you)In Russian, you say "Bod' zdorov(male) or zdorova(female)" (Be healthy) - if someone sneezes while you're talking, you say "Pravdu govor'u" (I'm telling the truth!).In Yiddish, you say "Zay gesunt" (be healthy) after the first sneeze and "Tzu gesunt" (to health) after the second.In Hawaiian, you say "Kihe, a mauli ola" (sneeze and you shall live) or just "Ola!"
