Growing up in Ohio, we always said "Gesundheit" in my house when someone sneezed.
When I was a kid, I asked my mom, "What does it mean? Is it another language or something?" She said, "It's just something you say when someone sneezes."
- khedoros 10y agoI have similar experience. My father's German-descended family lives in St. Louis, and they still say it. I asked my mother as a child, and she had a similar answer to your mom.
