Are these used in the UK, Australia, NZ ?


Here's suds in your eyes


>>> ........ a toast before drinking. To wish them ‘Good Health’, ‘Good Fortune’ and Cheers! ... , they say ‘Here’s mud in your eye’. ... it sounds negative but it has a positive meaning :)

Where did it come from? --------- The actual origin of this phrase is Biblical, when Jesus spat in the dirt and rubbed the wet dirt (mud) into the eyes of a blind man, which healed the man's sight.

[Peter Moylan]

I've heard "Here's mud in your eye" in Australia, but it must be many
years since I last heard it. I've never heard of the "suds" version.

The biblical origin is news to me, but now that you say it it makes a
lot of sense.

AIUI, the mud in question is the sediment at the bottom of your glass.
You get it in your eye when you tilt your head back to drain the last
drop. Ganbei!

Linking those two would requires a leap of imagination that could only
be fuelled by illegal substances.
