A word used by Britons on any occasion, covering any meaning from 'thanks', 'hello', 'no problem', to 'an alien just raped your chinchilla in the left corner of
my blue garden shed'. Usually followed by the term 'mate', which is also 100% devoid of
semantic content and meaning. This phenomenon is taken by some continental scholars as strong evidence that all Britons are
telepathic.
Example:
Stranger: 'Cheers mate'.
Reply: 'Cheers, but I'm not interested in buying
a bible from the early eighteenth century'.

Originally used almost exclusively in England as a toast accompanied by a
clink of glasses or raising of same, has come to mean
almost anything an English person (particularly
hooray Henriettas) wants it to mean rather in the style of shit or cool, but usually with ironic overtones.

1) A way of saying 'thanks' in the UK, as well as a powerful
asset to
sarcasm.
2) A bar in
Boston, probably the best thing to go see in Boston, there isn't anything else worth seeing in that city.
Example:
American Tourist: "Stop calling me a yank on my vacation, I understand I'm American, and we saved your ass in WWII"
English Local: "Oh,
cheers mate"
Person 1: "Why did our plane need to land in Boston for repairs before we got to New York, we're gonna be here for hours!"
Person 2: "Well we can go visit
Fenway!"
Person 1: "Fuck that, lets visit the Cheers bar"

A term that some american
douchebags say to make themselves sound more interesting. This term is
abused too much and needs to stop. It is NOT to be used to close a statement,
paragraph, as a cocky remark, or in place of "thank you" every time a simple "thank you/thanks" is in order. It is to be used when doing a toast with an alcoholic beverage or ONLY if you are from the uk or australia.
Example:
Valet: “here u go sir, here are your keys”
Retard: “oh, cheers man!”
Or:
Email:
Hi Karen, just wanted to tell you it was a such a pleasure meeting you the other night but the look on your face told me that you might not feel the same way. I hope that this is not so because I would like to meet again sometime
very soon. Please let me know.
Cheers,
Asswad Douchedorkinson

Used often by
Brits in different contexts, look at the other definitions posted by others.
Also used by Canadians and Americans, sort of as a way of saying "Thank you and
have a nice day" or can just be used as "
see ya" or "Thanks."
Example:
Server at a store or restaurant: "Here's the *product* you asked for. Anything else?"
Customer: "No,
that's all, thanks."
Server: "
Cheers."
Customer: *leaves*
