I think you meant to say "Prost" (German). *Proost* is the sound you make when you fart... unless you are Dutch.

Are you saying that perhaps because of the way it is pronounced? Besides, Isn't Stephan Dutch? His flag is from The Netherlands. Search "Dutch drinking toasts" and you find many, many things similar to this:

The most common Dutch drinking toast is "Proost!" (pronounced "prohst"), which you say while clinking glasses and making eye contact. Another option, particularly for wine, is the French-derived "Santé!". A more formal Dutch phrase, "Op je gezondheid!" (to your health!), can also be used.

Google is your friend ... sometimes.

Regardless - Cheers!

And here I thought you were actually trying to correct me. I get it now. Touché! (That's French, BTW)
