Definitely a toast . "Here's mud in your eye," which originally expressed the wish that farmers would find soft earth easily turned by a plow .
You are right about Casablanca, . . Humphrey Bogart's to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca: "Here's looking at you, kid . "

My God too,question who is best at using it . ;)

320602 2005-02-08 05:12:00 Favourite quotes.

From a poem entitled "MiniCooper" by an English electronics technician, rally driving and drinking enthusiast I shared a flat with once many years ago during a different life, one of only two lines from his works that I still remember:

Don't go in the forests girls, without your sump-guards on!

He was a very good poet and singer-songwriter actually, and did some excellent work. He also wrote in many different styles. This is from a rather sensitive lament about racial and religious prejudice, which contained the other memorable line:

Her God could be your God, could be mine.

For some strange reason both these quotes have stuck with me for nearly 30 years.

Cheers

Ask Jeeves says:

Where does the drinking toast "here's mud in your eye" originate?

It comes from the trench warfare of World War I, and the implication was that it would be good fortune only to get mud from the trenches in your eye, all the other very real
possibilities, such as artillery shrapnel, being absolutely horrific.
