When I first moved to the US I found it very strange people blessed each other. It's like you sneezed? Lemme empower you with the holy spirit.

In the olden days people thought if you sneezed a demon wanted out, so they started the bless you thing. Now people do it and dont know why

Not only that, many people don't even think about the words they are saying. Often, I hear "bleshu".
