I know some mannerisms to avoid such as when someone sneezes, dubs don't say, "Bless You" or "God Bless You" for sacrilious reasons.
So the question is, what worldly mannerisms do dubs avoid?

Euphemisms such as SHOOT and FREAKIN' are ones that the bro's in my Hall warn against.

Cheers!
I have been rebellious for the last several years by always saying cheers, whenever I have a glass of wine. My wife and I even clink glasses when we say it. We would get a few occasional comments from some j-dubs, though I would always ask them where in the bible does it say not to say cheers or clink glasses? Even the W/T reasoning on it is ludicrous…
Cheers, Mattieu. (and no I am not drinking right now, only 3:40pm in sunny Melbourne and still at work, though in another 4 hours………cheers!)

There is new reasoning on the Glass clinking thing, apparently fragile glasses will break and fragments/shards of glass can get into your eyes.

For a while the bethelites in my area used the word "flip" extensively. It stopped suddenly, so I assume some "bethel heavy" gave them shit for it.

Men tipping their hats (not that men wear hats much anymore).
There is an old WT article on why it's not Christian for a man to tip his hat...swear to FSM...
