It does kinda sounds like that... but its actually Gesundheit, like diry36 already answered. Gesundheit is a german word commonly used by english speakers like many others. Another famous one is Kindergarten, which means childrens garden. Doppelganger (Doppelgänger - Double Walker) and Schadenfreude (Harm Joy) are other very well known.
Dunno if a question as in you know it or you want to know it.
So I put it in spoilers. Mashed potatoes Kartoffel = Potato / Potatoes Püree is pureed food
Is war actually beneficial to the working class? Im talking about the mutual destruction type like WW2. After the war middle class prosperity was higher than ever, and has been in decline ever since with the roll back to all the laws and programs that made the prosperity possible, now tax evasion is common if your rich though stocks and debt while forcing more and more taxes on the working class. This though came to me when I heard about the war in Ukraine and the rise in wages for things like trucking in Russia
Rise of wages != "beneficial for the working class".
War causes grand expenditure, economic reset and a lot chaos. And, as everyone knows, chaos is a ladder. Lots of people will simply lose everything and die. Which will create opportunities for others to take their places.
And, believe it or not, most of people dying during wars belong to working class.
I'd prefer to slave away at a dead end job, rather than risk everything for a chance in chaos.
I think you are missing the point. Of course war is no beneficial for the working class, but the economic reset and the expenditure that comes with war is.
If governments would spend more in education, health, art and science, like they do in weapons during war times... let's think what would it do.
Yawn -- THAT was very very very very predictable - question -- if I went back and deleted one of my posts prior to that - would that kick you back to the last post on 4999?
i could read and understand the puree part, hence i knew it was something mashed into some form of easily made into hole consistence. therefore dick shall enter
Your wish is for the wish to not exist so you don't have to think about it, creating a paradox
Of course, could also just wish for goo girls to be real ;3
If you mean that to apply for only yourself, very selfish (and technically not in the spirit of the question).
If you mean the world, well, there's an SCP story about a deathless world...
That would make a lot of people's lives a heck of a lot easier. Does have a downside though, as there's a looooot of jobs out there based around food. I think the monkey's paw of such a wish would be to just grant it as is, when you think about it.
If not... Can I be the absolute ruler of a peaceful planet populated by beautiful cat girls, all of them absolutely not jealous and in love with me?
I know, I know... everybody wants the same.
Since the wish is supposed to change the world in some way, I suppose that would make everyone on earth into a catgirl, and you the world emperor/ess. Hopefully there's some big dicked cat girls out there too, or that will be a short lived empire.

It truly only benefits the working class directly connected to making the war happen. Other working class jobs suffer. Plus, it comes at the expense of human life.
the post-war economy of the 50s was largely around rebuilding from destruction, of which the US got to take tremendous advantage of, and that economy was paid for with a lot of graves.
I'd wish for everyone in the world to have daily access to food and shelter. This is not an unrealistic wish either with the insane wealth that the richest people have.
I actually like this wish better than the "nobody needs food/drink" one. It effectively has the same result, but with much less of an unintended consequence.
That is why the uber-wealthy hide their cloning labs away from the common folks -- Knowing a guy is a billionaire pisses people off -- knowing he has also figured out a way to replace all his parts as they wear out would result in -- umm repercussions .
