Examples often include a toast at a wedding congratulating the couple, toasts at a bar after a tournament win to congratulate the team or an individual player, or a general toast to health for everyone on a holiday or other special occasion.\r\n\r\nToasts serve to unify the group, acknowledge a person or event, mark a special occasion, or simply to encourage the consumption of alcohol. These can range from serious to silly but are normally words that point out something that is commonly known. For example, a toast to the most valuable player in a game may serve to publicly acknowledge him or her for achievements that are already known by the community. The verbal recognition, followed by ritualistic drinking, serves as a public acknowledgement. Belonging is a basic human need that requires reinforcement, and a toast can be characterized as a reinforcement ritual, acknowledging respect for the individual or team, and also reinforcing group affiliation, common symbols and terms, beliefs and values, goals and aspirations.<span id=\"fwk-mclean-fn15_010\" class=\"im_footnote\">McLean, S. (2005). <em class=\"im_emphasis\">The basics of interpersonal communication<\/em>. Boston, MA: Allyn &amp; Bacon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nToasts, while common in many societies, are relatively rare in daily life. They are normally associated with informal and formal gatherings of the group, team, or community. Since you may only perform a couple of toasts in your lifetime, you no doubt want to get them right the first time. We will address toasts and one variation in particular, the roast.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im_section\">\r\n<h2>Proposing a Toast<\/h2>\r\nOne proposes a toast, rather than \u201cmaking\u201d a toast or simply \u201ctoasting,\u201d because for it to truly be a toast, everyone in the group, team, or community must participate. If you propose a toast to someone and no one responds, even if you raise your glass to them as a nonverbal sign or respect and take a sip, it doesn\u2019t count as a toast. Only the community can publicly acknowledge someone with a toast, but it takes an individual to make the proposition.\r\n\r\nSometimes the person who is supposed to make that proposition is already known by function or role. The best man and maid of honor at a wedding, the host of a party, and the highest-ranking manager at a business meal are common roles that are associated with ritualistic toasts.\r\n\r\nStanding with proper posture to address the group is normally associated with acts of public speaking, including toasts. If you are understood to be a person who will be proposing a toast, you may not need to say anything to get the group\u2019s attention. As you rise and raise your glass, the room will grow quiet in anticipation of your words. If the group does not expect you to propose a toast, you may need to say, \u201cMay I propose a toast?\u201d in a voice above the level of the group. Nonverbal displays also work to capture attention,<span id=\"fwk-mclean-fn15_011\" class=\"im_footnote\">McLean, S. (2005). <em class=\"im_emphasis\">The basics of interpersonal communication<\/em>. Boston, MA: Allyn &amp; Bacon.<\/span> such as standing on a chair. While that may be nonstandard, your context will give you clues about how best to focus attention. Striking a glass with spoon to produce a ring, while common, is sometimes considered less than educated and a poor reflection of etiquette. The group norms determine what is expected and accepted, and it may be a custom that is considered normal. <span class=\"im_margin_term\"><span class=\"im_glossterm\">Etiquette<\/span><\/span> is a conventional social custom or rule for behavior, but social customs and rules for behavior vary across communities and cultures.\r\n\r\nYou will raise your glass, raise your voice, and make a brief statement complimenting the person being honored. Your toast should be brief. If you write it out in advance, use thirty words as your upper limit. Common mistakes are for toast-givers to ramble on too long and to talk about themselves instead of the honoree. The toast is not as much about the words you use, though they carry weight and importance, but it\u2019s about the toast ritual as a group expression of acknowledgement and respect. People then raise their glasses to indicate agreement, often repeating \u201chear, hear!\u201d or a word or phrase from the toast, such as \u201cto success!\u201d They then sip from their cup, possibly touching glasses first.\r\n\r\nOne common toast that always serves to unify the group is the toast to health. To propose a toast to health is common, well understood, and serves both the role and function of a toast. \u201cLive long and prosper\u201d is a common variation of \u201cto your health\u201d in English. <a class=\"im_xref\" href=\"#mclean-ch15_s04_s01_t01\">Table 15.3 \"Toasts to Health\"<\/a> lists toasts to health in other languages.\r\n<div id=\"mclean-ch15_s04_s01_t01\" class=\"im_table im_block\">\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im_title-prefix\">Table 15.3<\/span> Toasts to Health\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Language<\/th>\r\n<th>Toast<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Chinese<\/td>\r\n<td>Wen lie<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>French<\/td>\r\n<td>A votre sant\u00e9<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Gaelic<\/td>\r\n<td>Sl\u00e1inte<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>German<\/td>\r\n<td>Zum Wohl<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Greek<\/td>\r\n<td>Stin ygia sou<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Hebrew<\/td>\r\n<td>L\u2019chiam<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Italian<\/td>\r\n<td>Alla salute<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Japanese<\/td>\r\n<td>Kanpai<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Polish<\/td>\r\n<td>Na zdrowie<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Portuguese<\/td>\r\n<td>Sa\u00fade<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Spanish<\/td>\r\n<td>Salud<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\nSometimes a best man at a wedding will be expected to tell a short story as part of their toast. A common story is how the couple met from the best man\u2019s perspective. While this may be your choice, remember to keep it quite brief, positive, and focused on the honorees, not on yourself. Important occasions require you to play your part like everyone else, and your role is to focus attention on the individual, team, couple, or group as you honor them.\r\n\r\nAlcohol is not a requirement for a toast, nor is draining one\u2019s glass. The beverage and the quantity to be swallowed are a reflection of group norms and customs. Often alternatives, such as nonalcoholic sparkling cider, are served. If you are expected to perform a toast, one that requires tact, grace, and a clear presence of mind, you should refrain from drinking alcohol until after you\u2019ve completed your obligation. Your role has responsibilities, and you have a duty to perform.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im_section\">\r\n<h2>Roasts<\/h2>\r\n<span class=\"im_margin_term\"><span class=\"im_glossterm\">Roasts<\/span><\/span> are public proclamations that ridicule or criticize someone to honor them. That may sound awkward at first, but consider the targets most commonly associated with roasts: those in positions of power or prestige. Knocking someone off their pedestal is a special delight for the group or community, but it requires special care and attention to social dynamics, sensitivities, rank, and roles.\r\n\r\nA common context for a round of roasts, or a series or public statements intended to poke fun at someone, is at a retirement party. Individuals in the room tell brief stories that may have some basis in truth, but which through word choice and clear communication of exaggeration, allow everyone to look back upon the episode with light humor and laughter. Time has passed and the absurd is worthy of group laughter.\r\n\r\nA roast is not an opportunity to say something mean. If you don\u2019t think the target will laugh it off, don\u2019t say it. Roasts can hurt feelings, and that misses the point. A roast honors someone in a position of power or influence by allowing them to demonstrate they can take a joke at their own expense gracefully. It is not intended to do harm to the individual or create divisions in the community. Ritual public speaking is supposed to unify groups, teams, and communities, and not create division or rival internal groups.\r\n<div id=\"mclean-ch15_s04_s02_n01\" class=\"im_key_takeaways im_editable im_block\">\r\n<h3 class=\"im_title\"><\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"bcc-box bcc-success\">\r\n<h3>KEY TAKEAWAY<\/h3>\r\n<section>\r\n<div data-type=\"note\">Toasts and roasts honor a member of the community.<\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div>\r\n<h3 class=\"im_title\"><\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"bcc-box bcc-info\">\r\n<h3>EXERCISES<\/h3>\r\n<section id=\"self-check-questions\">\r\n<ol id=\"mclean-ch15_s04_s02_l01\" class=\"im_orderedlist\">\r\n\t<li>You are called upon to propose a toast to your team leader after your group has just completed a large contract.
