I don't know if I ever mentioned this to anyone before but the Turkish have a word for Bon Appetite which is "afiyet olsun." The problem with this word is it's over usage. If someone hands you a glass of water they will say it. If someone walks in a room and you put a breath mint in your mouth, they will say it. If you are on the phone with someone and you mention that you might be eating in the next hour they will shout "afiyet olsun!" Enough already.
