Derived from Hindi and literally meaning "take it in the mouth," mu mein le is increasingly being used colloquially as an Indian form of "cheers" or "drink up" while drinking together.
Its usage started in pubs around Bandra, Mumbai, and later spread to Indian metros. A popular brand of t-shirts even features the slogan beside an empty whiskey tumbler.
