Most people know that English speaking people say "Cheers!" when they are drinking and want to wish their friends good health. People usually touch their glasses together, or "clink" them as they say "Cheers!".

Another very popular use of the word "Cheers" is to say thank you in an informal way. For example, if you ask someone for directions and they seem like a friendly person to you, then you could say "Cheers" instead of "Thank you".
