http://ask.fm/The_YUNiversity/answer/133604176514 What about same goes to/with you?
Native speakers also use "Same to you," but that's slightly different. It's often used in farewells to repeat the same thing/idea:
Peter: Have a good day.
Henry: Same to you. 🙋
In that instance, we wouldn't say "Same for you" or "Same with you."
Peter: Have a good day.
Henry: Same to you. 🙋
In that instance, we wouldn't say "Same for you" or "Same with you."

What do people mean by 'too soon' jokes? Why does it called 'too soon' jokes?
If something tragic or sad happened RECENTLY, and someone tried to make a joke (usually offensive or hurtful) about it, it would be considered a "too soon" joke. It's considered "too soon" because people haven't had enough time to grieve or cope with the tragedy.
For example, if someone had made this tasteless "joke" just a few days or weeks after Whitney Houston's death, it would have been "too soon": http://bit.ly/1PAvtTr
