re Tschüs

interestingly the OED ( my copy is old - 1966) does not include "Cheers" or
Cheerio"..... so maybe Ron's theory could fill the gap???!!!

Well, Heather, I wouldn't go as far as taking it to the OED as yet. ;-)

Marsha, actually it's *you* that deserves a fat gold star for bringing such
a juicy, truly Lowlandic morsel to the table. It was delicious. I'm sure our
Jacqueline would agree. You made the Kahuna smile.
