What Do You Say When You Sneeze? by Ambidexter(m): 8:35pm On Jan 22, 2013
It's one thing to say something in reaction to someone who sneezes close to you, and it's a different thing entirely when it comes to what *you* say to yourself when you sneeze. Some people I know say things like -> 'Jesus!' 'I worship you Lord' and a colleague would say 'I believe in God' (lolz). When I was much younger, Mumsy would tell us to say (in our local dielect) - 'I reject, cast and bind every evil being planned against me right now' whenever we sneezed. Imagine! D dictionary tells me that 'to sneeze' means - 'an involuntary expulsion of air through the nose or mouth as a result of irritation of the nostrils' So I wonder, in your opinion, what makes people (expecially Africans) attach so much spiritual meaning to just sneezing?
