I was wondering,

When we make a toast here, everyone lifts there glasses as says cheers, or prost, or whatever depending on where you're from.

Is there something special you would say at a tiki bar? Some Hawaiian phrase or something?

"Okole Maluna" -- means "bottoms up"

Wow, thats really good. Exactly what I was looking for.

Not to be picky or anything, but could you spell that phonetically? I don't want to to say it wrong, or be much more or a dork than I normally am.

how does one pronounce "orgeat?"

or-gee-ott?

or-gate?

This is an old Irish Tiki Cheer.

What the hell, since I'm at it:

A different bar.

What is the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish Funeral?
One less drunk.

This thread just made my day. I'm still laughing - and PolynesianPop, thanks for the info on the toast. I'll start using it today @ around 5:45pm.
