Robert from Montague PEI:
"I choose this toast word years ago. Prounced as it spells, "Slan-ge-va" . Meant to be spoken boldly while raising your beverage to the sky. I would use it as a toast at our house parties and when out on the Town with friends and it always sparked conversation about what it meant. I used to tell them it was a Scottish Galic word that would be used as a toast and it would wish you health, wealth, and long life, Or else explain it further by saying it represents " Long may the seed of your loins bear fruit in the bellies of your women!" What else would be a better toast. This toast and it's explanation would be wishing Canada well as in its Youth, Canada will grow strong. To wish each other fertility success, would assure our wealth and health as a Great Nation."
Thanks
