In general it means "for your heals' and mostly using when people drinks and wishes each other heals, well etc. Please correct me if I mistake.. Speaking of slang it's very funny when you're using these bad words talking with native speakers. They often go red and try pretending deafness or that they don't understand you... “Cheers” comes from when one hand hits another one in Theatre.

I also see another using: when somebody is sneezing. "Bless you" (cheers is frolicsome or facetious, not formal).

Cheers Grzegorz, but there is proverb that says takes bad luck to cheers with water in the glasses, I don't think so as for many years I always cheers with water.

In China, slang always comes from the website, for most Chinese who don't often surf on the internet cannot understand the exact meaning of slang. For example, can you guess the meaning of the following sentence "You're so Mars" in Chinese? I'll tell you the answer tomorrow. :) Every country has her own slang.

In my opinion, it is surely necessary to learning to know the definitions of slang, but you don’t have to use it. Moreover, you should avoid using it, for it might be rude for you to blurt out.
