Salud (pronounced Sal-lude with the emphasis on "lude") - in Spanish it means "health." I heard it used mostly when raising a glass or when someone sneezes, as we might say "Bless you." If the person sneezes again you say "dinero" (dee-nere-o: money) and if they sneeze a third time you say "amor" (need I translate this one?- I don't think so.) Like three wishes. If they sneeze again you offer them allergy medicine.
