German, meaning "health". Used to wish someone "health" after sneezing. It has been exported, but seems primarily to be used in the US. Similar is "bless you"

Used as a reply in certain contexts when someone has just said something quite verbose or confusing. "Bless you" can be used in the same way in this sense. Not all native speakers of English use it.
From the A Way With Words (waywordradio.org) radio show, Aug. 23, 2010:
Grant Barrett: "It's the second person singular indicative present of the verb 'to see', s-e-e."
Caller: "Gesundheit."

I forgot to tell you, I sneezed at work the other day and farted at the same time. Ron said "gesundheit", so I'm fairly sure he heard the fart also. It was loud!

During sex when you throw black pepper into the woman's face and she sneezes, which causes her pussy to tighten on your dick.
Last night she was in the heat and we were on round three. I had a hard time finishing so I tried "The Gesundheit" and it gave me the bump I needed to get to the finish line.

Means "stop sneezing" in German. During the Middle Ages, it was thought the Black Plague was spread through sneezing, therefore "stop sneezing", or "Gesundheit" was frequently heard.

Asking your partner to chew a liberal wad of bubble gum while doing it doggy style with you. She (or whatever) should then blow the biggest bubble possible. At the right moment blow some pepper dust in their face. Ideally they will sneeze mid bubble and cover their face with gum just as you both come. Gesundheit!
