Cha-ching

Doug and Wanda, Kingston NS:

"I really don’t know origins of this word and there appear to be numerous definitions of the phrase, mostly dealing with money in one form of another, but the one that most suits us is :

“ Cha-ching - an expression used to show excitement after something good has happened.”

We moved to this area 15 years ago, and the people who we moved next door to quickly became and have remained our best friends.

Although we are no longer neighbours, we still get together whenever humanly possible and having a beverage has always been a big part of our lives. At some point very early on as we were indulging in an adult beverage, and beginning a toast, one of us said “cha ching” and we toasted and it has remained the “toast of choice” for the four of us ever since.

Obviously something good has happened to us all when we are able to get together and that is exciting."

Thanks
