A new pet peeve evolved over the weekend

Nah, these have been done to death in previous decades though I could be reviving them- but that might go over the head of the behind the curve guy. Never having seen someone ahead of the curve, he might think I was behind him in the curve line. Any suggestions? I dont get out of Connecticut much so I am not so cultured.

Arriba?
Andale?
Salud? (which is spanish for cheers sorta )

WEhat is the French equivalent of Cheers? Nothing is more pedantic and pretentious than the French version of anything?
Oh, I forgot... the one thing worse than "cheers" is "salud". Cheesiest guido toast of all time. Whenever I hear this I want to turn to the speaker and say "Hey, Paulie, how was it whacking Pussy?" I generally find this toast is used most by short men.
