I forgot to add that it also means "enjoy" but always in connection to food. And it is never used in the context of "be well".
Nadia-Anastasia Fahmi Dec 24, 2005:
Dear Theo, the term has no other meaning that "bon appetit" and whoever told you otherwise is mistaken.

Hi,

Whoever told you that it has more meanings that "bon appetit" that my dear colleage suggested was wrong. The only way it could mean anything other than "bon appetit" is if it was used in a very colloquial and suggestive way and in that sense it might mean have a good time but personally I just think they were wrong in what they told you.

Trust us, we are native speakers of the language afterall; we should know :)

Merry Xmas and a happy new year!
