substitute for bless you, used only after the first sneeze.
since the ears take a few seconds to adjust after the pressure change, everyone will hear bless you instead. people nearby won't expect to hear it, but won't say anything if they do.
if the person sleezes a second time, revert to bless you and anyone who thought they heard brown shoe will think they're losing it... ;)~

Get the brown shoemug. To the layman, it's an alternative to but. However, the connotations of but are wholly negative, whereas however provides an Icarus from the ashes.
Use it sparingly, use it well.

She: 'I must profess I have a big butt. However, it's as shapely as the legend of bootylicious, therefore you must worship.'
You: indeed.

Get the Howevermug. The sensation felt during/after jumping a red light on an electric bicycle.

Get the Electric Sinmug. Windows FP (aka: Windows Fisher Price), is the successor to Windows 2000.
Also known as 'Windows XP'. This was the last stand of a dying corporation to save itself, from itself. The interface was designed by the team who delivered the Apple Macintosh almost twenty years earlier, but is neither as stable, nor as easy to use.
Windows FP was seen by many as an attempt to make the Windows OS more Mac-like. However, with a GUI incapable of smooth transitions, the results appear more like melted-candy corn than the inimitable Mac OS X that it tries so hard to be.
Visual cues apparently have been taken from the local kindergarden. Everything is either big, lurid, or unnecessary (sometimes all three). Plagued with problems throughout, it's party-piece was it's ability to crash all by itself.

Get the Windows FPmug. derived from the desire to 'swear without swearing', from a glorious exchange - with nether party swearing one bit!
in an attempt to imply 'f-off', the rhyme was offered up instead. with great surprise the reply was even better than the joke itself...
(also used: 'would you like to play the russian composer?')

me: 'enter facetious remark here'
other: 'enter doubly facetious retort here'
me: rhymes with "cough"

Get the rhymes with "cough"mug. A phase common amongst more affluent males in their early twenties, which typically requires the exchange of basic hygiene for Bob Marley memorabilia, dreadlocks and second hand military clothing.
Early warning signs include the gradual slurring of speech (as made popular in the movie 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'), endless discussions of aid increases/debt reduction and an overall musky smell.
A Gap Year Anarchist will subscribe to numerous clichés. Behaviour may include voluntary summertime homelessness/squatting, throwing flour & dancing on a Cenotaph.
The phase ends when the GYA finally succumbs to pleas from his/her family and/or bank manager/student loans company/court, gets a haircut, a job and a life!

Get the Gap Year Anarchistmug. When someone uses the word adamant in a sentence to try sound precise and determined, lower the tone and throw their momentum right off by directing the conversation to 80's legend Adam Ant, of Adam and the Ants.
They: '...so I told her I was adamant that...'
You: 'Hold-up! YOU were Adam Ant, 1980's pop star & all 'round Goodfella?'
They: 'Eh, er, um, wha...?!?'
You: 'You know, Adam Ant. War paint on face? Answers to 'Highwayman'? Swings from chandeliers?'
They: "No, I was just sayin'…'
You: 'Are you… Adamant about THAT? just sayin''
They: '....'
