To toast, cheers, or touch glasses of any type of alcohol together with your drinking partner(s) in the spirit of goodwill, health, luck, or congratulations.
In many cultures, it's considered to be good luck to make eye contact when doing so (and bad luck not to).
Some people also follow a tradition of tapping the bar with the glass after clicking glasses (and before drinking) to express fondness for the business/bar and the people who work there.

A few examples of what's said during the clinking of glasses; each culture/group has their own:
- Cheers!
- Salud!
- Tchin Tchin!
- Slainte
- May the best of your yesterdays be the worst of your tomorrows.
- Sweethearts and wives (may they never meet)

A pair of glasses that look like those worn by Ira Glass, host of This American Life, characterized by prominent black frames. A favorite of the literati and intellectuals since the 1960s.
The 3D glasses that are being given out by Real D at Beowulf screenings look like oversized ira glasses (actually, like ira sun-glasses).

A blunt and useless tool.
Ideal insult for the stupid (and jocks), as they will be shaking their heads and overworking their 2-cell brain to figure out why everyone is laughing at them.

When the only condoms a female carries with her is a Trojan Magnum, And if the condom doesn't fit she doesn't even waste her time.
