"Cheers" ?

[J0KER]

So I work at the MTN cyclepark on weekends and I find that often when I put number boards on the bikes or help people,the say "Cheerz" where a "thanx" would normally be.So does Cheerz no mean thanx and not only goodbye ? And is it a cyclist thing or a general thing ?

It's slang, for shot mate. As in Ta.

Multi-use word for place and time, just like aweh, shot , shweet..like cheers for helping me fix my bike.. or cheers im off for a ride.. or ur chick is hot , cheers ty.. . But usually means that one of the parties is buying the other one a beer or two.....used alot in the UK. You alright mate .. cheeeeeers.

Most people around the world understand it's first meaning: "drink up!" In Britain it can also mean "goodbye" or "thanks" - using it for "goodbye" is more common in other parts of the world than for "thanks", which is why you may not have heard it before.

@Zoidberg:

 

Oh so you're that tall skinny guy at the bike park...

 

The one who once asked a kids whose bike was not correctly assembled "who built your bike", he said "my dad", then you replied "your dad must be really dumb" (not noticing that the kid's father was standing at the counter behind you)...

 

That moment was classic

I'll be sure to say Thank You and Good Bye when I see you there, so there wont be any confusion as to what I mean

[J0KER]

Haha Wow thanx for that matThew ! Cheers mate

Using Cheers for anything other than saying goodbye is stupid and irritating. Well at least to me.

It's a pom thing - when they say 'cheers' they are saying dankie.
