What is Brown Shoe?
1.
substitute for bless you, used only after the first sneeze.
since the ears take a few seconds to adjust after the pressure change, everyone will hear bless you instead. people nearby won't expect to hear it, but won't say anything if they do.
if the person sleezes a second time, revert to bless you and anyone who thought they heard
they: ahhhhhh-chooo!
you:
brown shoe
they: thank you
other: (thinks they heard
brown shoe , but not sure enough to say anything)
