OoW was about the relationship (or lack thereof) between "atishoo" and a French expression.
Susie said "Atishoo is not related" but it's too easy to hear it as "A tissue is not related". It's strange that she made no comment about the word "tissue".
The talk about sneezes in different languages reminds me of what I've heard before about how onomatopoeias for animal sounds can be totally different between languages.
