You’re not Irish, are you? The expression is, “And the balance of the day to you, too!” unless you don’t like the person. Don’t be concerned. I just become hypersensitive sometimes.

...“And the balance of the day to you, too!” unless you don’t like the person....

If my mother didn't like the persons(s) she would add, "And the rest of the day to meself!"

There might be some way back in the ancestry somewhere. But I’m not aware of any Irish.

I’m a proud, American mutt. I’ll celebrate any culture that isn’t out to destroy mine.
